1. Yes you can get a 30 day extension of stay at CM immigration as long as it's the first extension of your current 60 day permit to stay. You need to use a Chiang Mai address.

You can only go out/in at Mai Sai if you have a visa. They won't issue visa exempt entries.

It might be possible to do a crossing for a visa exempt entry at Ranong. As said it is not possible at Mae Sai.

The nearest crossing to Chiang Mai where you could do it would be at the Chiang Khong crossing to Laos.

You can get a 30 day extension at immigration without a problem. You would do it at the new office at Promenada. Info here: Immigration Promenada One Stop Service v2

You would only get a 15 day visa exempt entry unless your are from a G7 country.
