Manufacturers are require to put dates on products, but just because something is past the expiration date does not mean it is spoiled, especially dry, boxed products. You can use an outdated cake mix, but it may have lost color, flavor, and nutritional value. It is unlikely to be harmful. Check the mix for signs of mold or insects. If it looks and smells okay it is most likely safe to use.

No, adding additional leavening would not improve an out-dated cake mix. The old ingredients in the mix might be stale or rancid.

How many tablespoons in a cake mix?

You shouldn't just add flour to the cake mix to stretch it to a third layer, that would upset the delicate balance of flour, protein, acid, leavening agents, and the like. The result wouldn't be good, either from a texture or a taste standpoint. If you want a third layer on your cake, buy an extra box of cake mix and use half of it for the third layer, or buy a bulk cake mix bag from Costco or Smart n' Final, and make the three layers according to the recipe on the bag.

Why aren't you allowed to mix flour?

Your question isn't clear, but there are no rules that you can't mix flour. If you are referring to mixing self-rising flour with all-purpose flour, you shouldn't mix them, simply because self-rising flour contains leavening agents and all-purpose does not. But mixing those would be okay if you also added the correct amount of leavening agent and salt.
