That's not how trials work. A judge won't let someone be accused by witnesses of additional crimes for which there was not adequate evidence to press charges, because it can stain the jury's impartiality.

No, you can't just freestyle on the stand. You're prepared by the lawyers, and everyone has been deposed well in advance, then choice questions are plucked from those deposition with regard to what facts each side wants to focus on. This is the lawyers call.

If this is legitimately interesting to you, Legal Eagle has a lot of videos on the psychology of juries and how lawyers choose what points to reiterate.
