No, that's not a mistake. "Si" is the "yes" used to counter a negative statement/question. In the dialogue, the context was:
Ce n'est pas possible ! {That's not possible.} -> Negative assertion
Et si. {Well, yes (it is)} -> The "not possible" *is* possible.
On the extra vocabulary, it looks like a continuation of the previous comment.
Il n'y a pas de sucre sur la table -> Negative
Si, il y en a -> But yes, there are some.
