If a person forgot the Fatiha or doubted whether he recited it or not, he should repeat that Rak’ah while he is prayer because it is a pillar of prayer. Anything else is either mandatory or Sunnah. The mandatory things, a person prostrates for them 2 prostration of forgetfulness. Sunnah things have no expiation for not offering them.

What does a persom do if she forgot whether she had recited something before, should she carry on in prayer, or repeat that part?

When I sometimes miss a prayer or I sin, I feel so depressed, when I pray the Fardh I enjoy more then when I pray 2 rakaa’at before fajr

I’ve noticed some of the brothers clasp their hands (just like they clasp their hands after saying initial Takbeer) in Salaah when they get up from rukuu. Is it part of Sunnah? Is there any hadith for this?
