No. once the complaint is filed before the Magistrate Court thereafter no accused can be added to the said complaint.
Moreover, as the judgment of Anita Hada by the Supreme Court, if the complaint is not joined as accused and the case is lodged only against director then the complaint is required to be quashed by the high Court under section 482 of Cr.P.C

The name of Director can be added in the case as per law. All the directors and the signatories can be sued in the court of law as they are the persons responsible for day today affairs of that company.

Yes it can be added as cheque would have been issued in company's name bearing signature of authorized signatory so both can be sued for cheque bounce case. If you are on complainant side then surely add company's name
