If I enter Thailand on February 8 with a Visa exemption, will I have until April 8 to leave after extending for 30 days?

ORIGINAL POSTER
If I go to stamp into Thailand on Feb. 8, with the 'Visa exemption' stamp and extend that for 1,900 Baht for additional 30 days, does that make my permitted date April 8? I am planning a trip and my flight out of Thailand will be on April 8, so I am wondering if I stamp into Thailand on February 8, if I will have my days lined up correctly.

And another thing I want to confirm... I read that if your Visa date says 8, and you stamp out on the morning of 9, do they still charge you 500 baht for overstay or is it true they have a 24 hour period where if it's less than 24 hours they will stamp you out as normal without penalizing you? Or is this completely up to the officer?

TLDR : Answer Summary
If you enter Thailand on February 8 with a Visa exemption and extend your stay for an additional 30 days for 1,900 Baht, your new permitted departure date will indeed be April 8. Regarding overstaying, if your Visa states an expiration date of the 8th and you leave on the morning of the 9th, you may incur a 500 Baht overstay fee unless the officer decides to waive it due to being under a 24-hour grace period, which can vary based on the officer's discretion.
