I have thought about it but not done it yet. I would make an additional brace to the tree. Those cheap stands sometimes have flimsy ladders.
I'd be very careful doing that. Those stands are designed to save as much steel, and therefore cost, as possible. They are built with a safety factor, which may be negated when an extension is added. Unless the company advertises their stand as being able to take an extension, I'd not do it.
Yes, you can normally order the extension piece that comes with a stabilizer bar
I've done it, and had no issues—-but you will definitely need an extra stabilizing bar.

We've done it to some of the older big game stands that had the double uprights. Used extra bracing and no issues. Never done it with the cheaper metal 15' stands.
