In the following pictures, is the superscript addition a correction or intended decoration? Are corrections like this kosher?

it isn't a decoration -- the extra word is in the verse (Gen 33:11)– rosendsCommented Aug 11, 2014 at 6:46

2I realize the word is supposed to be there. By decoration I meant that the word was superscript rather than written inline. Or was it mistakenly not written the first time and added later?– Mike IzbickiCommented Aug 11, 2014 at 6:47

This is a valid way of inserting missing words, as the Shulchan Aruch in Yoreh De'ah in סימן רעו - דין תלית הדלוג Paskens:
א: טָעָה וְדִלֵּג תֵּבָה אוֹ יוֹתֵר, יָכוֹל לִתְלוֹתָהּ בֵּין הַשִּׁיטִין אֲבָל לֹא בָּרֶוַח שֶׁבֵּין דַּף לְדַף.
If he erred and missed a word or more, he can hang it between the lines, but he may not put it in the space between the columns.
