Does bottle conditioning deal with diacityl as well or should i leave it in fermenter?

Typically not. Rather leave it in the fermenter and raise the temp a little for a couple of days for a diacetyl rest. I think lager is around 16C for a diacetyl rest and ales about 2C higher than the fermentation temp.

18-20 deg C for lagers
Ales don't typically need a diacetyl rest if you've let them ferment out at a decent temp, except if you have a highly flocculant yeast or have had a stuck fermentation due to temp fluctuation, in which case I'd rather make a small yeast starter and re-pitch.

Nope, leave it in the fermenter to do a Diacetyl rest.
If you did not have one of the following: under pitch, low airation, stuck fermentation or fermented too high i.e. stressed yeast, you should not have diacetyl. Have you tested for diacetyl?

The stout tastes fine, but the golden ale was a bit yeasty and butterscotchy. Tonight i'm starting the cold crash, then bottle 90 bottles on saturday. After bottling, i'm starting my last try on a partial english bitter, and also a belgian ale.
Just need to do some research on melanoidin and carafoam that I want to add to the bitter.
Can I drop it on that yeast in the same fermenter as the previous batch?
An important fact that was not covered in the other answers is that yeast produce aromas/flavours during their exponential phase. If your yeast does not go into exponential phase (because there are already so many of them), then you will not get that complexity.

Still an absolute newbie. When making extract brews, how essential is it to use beer enhancers? Literature states it improves 'mouth feel', what's that?
Reason I ask is that a recipe I want to try (Saison), calls for a mix of two extracts and not complete tins. I will be left with some that I do not know what to do with. To make something different, I thought I'd mix it with an enhancer and mix a witches brew with what's left?
Some tins can be a bit watery when you make them. The enhancers fixes that. It also lifts abv slightly, and gives the beer more flavour. I usually add 2kg of enhancer in my beer. Then i push for 24L batches.
Think of an enhancer pack as a specific style made of dry ingredients, like dme, dextrose and hops.
Can you post the recipe here?
I will be left with 0.7lt of unhopped wheat extract and 0.9lt of light malt extract.
I was thinking of just mixing these with an enhancer and a spare Ale yeast I have.
I currently have a Belgium ale in the the Fermentor for 2 weeks now already , sg of 1.007. Beer very murky and I would like to add a finnings which I can only get during the week. Can I leave the brew for another week?
