Single z3 only costs £1 at all times.
Single z6-z3 via z1 costs £3.50 on-peak or £2 off-peak.

So off-peak the passenger would be charged £2, irrespective of how the
fare is calculated.

On-peak, the passenger would be charged £2.80 for 2 journeys plus
travelcard, or £3.50 for one journey.

Surely the passenger would be charged 1.80 or 1 for a z3-6 extension,
given that it is a single journey that needs z1-6 validity?

The travelcard part provides the z12 validty, the extension provides
z3-6 for a single journey.

That is certainly how I understand it. You do not pay twice for your
travelcard zones and as London zones are concentric you only pay for Z3
once even if you travel through it twice on both "sides" of your
travelcard validity. I'm pretty sure this logic has applied since zones
were first introduced.
