"Near miss" is a noun. In this case, we do not treat it as 2 separate words. Cambridge learner's dictionary defines it as "something bad that does not happen but almost happens." http://dictionary.cambridge.org/dictionary/learner-english/a-near-miss?q=Near+miss

That is an adjective. But in the sentence, it is used as an adverb which describes the verb "miss".
