Yes, there is a difference between 添 (tiān) and 加 (jiā).
"添" specifically conveys the idea of adding something incrementally or continuously. It implies an action of supplementing or increasing by small amounts over time. It is often used in contexts where something is being added gradually or continuously, such as adding water to a cup, adding new items to a collection, or adding details to a story.
"加" generally means "to add" in a more general sense. It can refer to the act of adding something to increase the quantity, intensity, or value of something. It is used in various contexts where something is being augmented or increased, such as adding ingredients to a recipe, adding numbers together, or adding strength to a team.

Yes you can say that! The phrase "添把椅子" (tiān bǎ yǐzi) translates to "add a chair" in English.

The difference between 添一双筷子 (tiān yì shuāng kuàizi) and 加一双筷子 (jiā yì shuāng kuàizi) lies in their usage.
添 (tiān) implies adding something to what is already there, often with a sense of complementing or enhancing. It suggests adding an extra pair of chopsticks (already readily available) for a specific purpose, like accommodating an additional person.
加 (jiā), on the other hand, means to increase or add in a more general sense. It can simply refer to the act of adding more chopsticks without the same nuance of enhancing or complementing.
