I agree - the treatments are the same, however the dosages may be higher for mania than hypomania. Also, ECT is sometimes used to treat mania, but not hypomania.

No. By definition, psychosis is not present in bipolar 2. Having said that, if psychosis is a part of a person's experience of mania, then an antipsychotic is typically added, where one might not necessarily be used in hypomania.
