Fragen über die Beispielsätze mit, und die Definition und Benutzung von "Much"

A: The double meaning is because it is often used for politeness.

So it allows someone to admit they could be wrong about this...but are going to say it anyways. But if they are later proven to be wrong, then this means they can remind people that they did say they 'might have been mistaken'. So it allows them to save face for their public error, if they are corrected for it later on.

However, it also allows someone who is very certain they are correct about this...to sound humble instead of bragging, by saying that "they could be wrong" basically, even though they are certain they are not wrong at all. Making it sound more polite and accommodating to others, even if they think they already know everything about it. So "unless I am somehow completely wrong about this, this is what I know to be a fact and I am very confident I am right" type of thing.

And then there are situations that fall somewhere between these two extremes. On the one hand, there are people who are hesitant to share what they know, but feel reasonably confident enough to speak up...They know they might be wrong, but it is probably just self-doubts. So it is probably okay to say. So they start with "unless I'm mistaken/unless I'm much mistaken" etc in order to protect from future embarrassment if they turn out to be completely wrong.

But there are also people who doubt themselves a lot more than that, who really are not confident that they are right about this. But they use this phrase to pretend they are more confident, to imply that "it is very unlikely that I am wrong about this" when secretly they feel like they don't feel very confident at all. They use this to discourage people from questioning them too closely. A form of bluffing or bluster. Overcompensating, putting on airs, pretending at a level of confidence they do not truly feel.

So the phrase has a bit of a range between the two opposite meanings, because often both meanings are used even if one is subtext and the other is projected for appearances sake. So it's not quite as opposite meanings as it first sounds like. The two layers of meaning tend to show up together, even if one of them is meant to be more hidden from public view. Or even if people only privately wonder about how certain they actually are or not.

A: "very much" and "so much" mean basically the same thing: "a large amount". These phrases are generally positive.
