Is there any issue with leaving my existing booking, and booking the same room category for one night at the higher rate? Is this something that hotels don't like, or is it a normal thing?
Not only have I had multiple bookings for a single stay, I've done it from 2 different accounts (using certs from both mine and MamaTwick's account). Never had a problem staying in the same room.

Unfortunately the hotel is sold out at that time, so it shows as sold out, even though I would just be extending my existing booking. Is the only option here to roll the dice and cancel, hoping that the room will be available to rebook?
I would not risk the cancellation. Contact the hotel and see if they can simply shorten your stay.
