How much does Machiavelli’s Prince belong in the tradition of the medieval ‘mirror for princes’ genre?

Totally and completely. The behaviour suggested is different than most other works, but it still fits perfectly the definition of mirror for princes.
The only way you could argue otherwise is by playing the satire angle, but let's not bother with that discredited and talked to death theory.

Why do people only care about his Prince when The Art of War was far better book?
