Have 1×16GB DDR5, want 32GB. Match it with a single stick, or buy a 2-pack and run 2 or 3?

I have 1× G.Skill 16GB DDR5-6000 (F5-6000J3238F16G). I want 32GB total and don’t need more than that. I also don’t want to sell a kidney for a whole new kit.

Can I pair it with a different single 16GB stick at roughly the same speed and timings? Micro Center only sells my exact model as a 2×16GB kit.
If I have to buy the kit, should I run just the 2 new sticks and sell the old one? Or can I run all 3 (48GB) on AM5?
