I think you should worry about getting that car tuned right OFF spray before you spray it.
What is done to your car? And what hack tuned it? (no offense meant)
It also depends on what nitrous kit you have. If it's wet, you should be okay simply by just upping the fuel jet a little too compensate for your already "earlY" lean condition.
If you have a dry maf kit, I'd be a bit more carefull although you "might" still be okay.

A tune wouldn't hurt, but yes you can add the bottle onto what you've got now. Just run colder plugs and keep the coolant temp down below 200*F.

of course it will.
If the wideband was installed after the cats, then you cannot get an accurate A/F the engine is running at.
So I ask again, how was the A/F tested?

You were probably running in the mid to bottom 11:1 AFR range,
and like I said earlier, you're fine to put the bottle on.
I highly suggest getting rid of the cats first.
