On the 7th night of Chanukah person mistakenly thought it was the 6th night and lit only six candles. Afterwards he realized it is the 7th night. When he lights an additional candle does he make a bracha?

Is the obligation of Mehadrin min Hamehadrin based on Hidur mitzvah or a different concept?

See רמב”ם ה’ חנוכה פרק ד הלכה א-ב

https://hebrewbooks.org/pdfpager.aspx?req=14278&st=&pgnum=374

What is the reason for the Mehadrin min Hamehadrin according to the Rambam?

How could one be obligated to light according to the Mehadrin min Hamehadrin and one has to spend  over 400% more to purchase 36 candles than the base obligation of eight candles?

Why isn’t adding candles considered a violation of baal tosif? If one would add extra mezuzahs on his door post for the amount of people in the house that would definitely be a violation of baal tosif.

We find the concept of Hidur in regards to enhancing a mitzvah. Ie. Purchasing a nicer Sukkah , talis,  … Where do we find the concept of Hidur that requires one to add additional mitzvahs?

Why does the שולחן ארוך או”ח ס’ תרע”א סע’ ב bring the halacha of amount of candles to light each night only in accordance with the Mehadrin min Hamehadrin and not list the base halacha that only one candle is required to be lit in each home for each night of Chanukah?  

Is the obligation of Mehadrin min Hamehadrin based on Hidur mitzvah or a different concept?

If someone started lighting the menorah and realized after he lit the first candle can he still recite the Brachos?

If someone forgot to add an extra candle for that night of chanukah and only realised later that evening 

Should he light an additional candle?

Should he make a bracha when lighting that candle?

Should he light it even if the other candles have already gone out?
