Currently have running multiplayer game with friends and wanna ask, its possible to change value of Absorption and Diffusion without restarting whole game?

But its possible to add new mod to existing game session?

I also looked at console commenads:
https://wiki.factorio.com/Console
I see there some options to change map settings, maybe its possible this way?

Adding mods is easy. All you have to do is stop the server, add the mod, and start the server again. Then clients will download the new mod when they join. (The same procedure is needed to update existing mods. The server does not update from the mod portal.)

I would recommend to use the map editor instead of the linked mod. To change the settings with the map editor:

• Use /editor in the console to switch to the map editor (you may have to execute it twice, it disables achievements)
• Switch to the "surface" tab, it's the 6th tab
• Click "Edit map gen settings"
• Change the settings and confirm
• Use /editor in the console to leave the map editor
