A: This is known problem because of starred chapters. Here are two ways:
1 (not recommended) Replace \setcounter{mtc}{9} with \setcounter{mtc}{6} (well try to find the correct value)
2 Remove \setcounter{mtc}{9} and redefine  \addtotoc
\renewcommand\addtotoc[1]{%
\refstepcounter{dummy}%
\addstarredchapter{#1}%  or \mtcaddchapter[#1]%
\markboth{#1}{}}
