I have been using an HP Pavilion laptop 15-cs0xxx since 2019. It is getting slower day by day even after formatting and freshly installing Windows OS system. I am using Windows 11 Home. My laptop already has 8 gb Ram installed. I like to add 8 gb RAM. I found one that matches the part number on the maintenance and service guide. Here is the link for the RAM. Can I just add another 8 gb RAM to make it 16 gb RAM?
The Maintenance and Service Guild shows only 125 gb SATA SSD is compatible with my HP Pavilion laptop 15-cs0xxx. Am I right on this? If I am wrong, what is the largest SATA SSD I can install on my Laptop? Thank you.

If you want to keep the Intel Optane memory, replace the 2.5" mechanical hard drive with a 2.5" SSD because the notebook only has one M.2 slot which is occupied by the Optane memory.
I recommend this model drive for your notebook:
If you are not familiar with setting up Intel Optane, see these links for how to configure the Intel Optane to work with the SATA drive:

I forgot to add the link to the RAM I am planning on buying.

Yes, that memory chip should work fine along with the existing one.
If you are wanting to install a M.2 SATA SSD and not replace the 2.5" mechanical hard drive, you can go with a 1 TB one if you want.
The drive capacities listed in the manual are just what HP offered, not the maximum capacity supported.
The manual also indicates that M.2 NVMe SSD's are supported, but I think the manual is incorrect based on this discussion:

I like to replace the existing mechanical hard drive with a compatible solid-state drive. Currently M.2 slot has Intel Octane Memory 16 GB installed. I like to keep this if this does not cause a conflict with the new solid-state drive.
