Hot take: Not all cost reductions work with every additional cost. Some reductions specify types of spells or conditions that may not apply to the additional costs you're thinking of. Always read the fine print!

From experience, yes, cost reductions can make those extra costs less painful. I had a deck focused around casting big spells for less, and using cost reducers made it way easier to throw around spells that normally had hefty additional costs. It felt like having a secret weapon in my arsenal.

Absolutely, you can use cost reduction effects in Magic The Gathering to help pay for additional costs! Think of it like coupons stacking up for your grocery shopping. If you've got a spell that has additional costs and you're rocking an effect that reduces the cost of spells, you can combine those to slash the total mana cost you need to pay. Just keep an eye on the specific wording of your cost reduction effects and additional costs, since MTG is a game where the exact phrasing can make a big difference.
