assume i run a full node can i save on miner fees? if i just add transaction to my node and it gets picked up by rest?
No. Even if you run a full node, the propagation of the transaction will depend on others, not you. You might be able to accept your own transaction with a very low fee but if others have their minimum relay fee threshold set high, they wouldn't relay it. Poor propagation means that the miners would have a low chance of seeing it.

In the end, it depends on the miner. They can choose to include transactions with low fees or high fees into their block. Nodes can't have a say.
or is it same if i just do transaction from a wallet
A full node also function as a wallet.

what if i ran 6 nodes so i could get 6 confirmations?
i think there is way to configure so the peers are just
ones in your network no?

(this is just thought. more academic in nature)
