Conditional about past
Hello, teachers I have a question.
1.
What did you do if you were a millionaire?
(What would you have done if you were a millionaire?)
2.
If that was my mistake, I needed to apologize.
(If that was my mistake, I would have needed to apologize.)
Can I make conditional sentences in these ways?

Hi.
Can A below stand as an unreal sentence about present or future?
Suppose it was an emergency or something similar:
A:If that was(were) my mistake I would have needed to apologize.
(That is definitely not my mistake, if that is I would have needed to apologize.)

Hi.
If it was my mistake, I needed to apologize.
If I could do it, I did it.
Is this type of conditional sentence above(ie. If simple past + simple past) used commonly? To be honest I got a bit odd feeling of it.
And how about below?:
If it was my mistake, I have needed to apologize.
If I could do
If it was my mistake, I needed to apologize.
If I could do it, I did it.

If it was my mistake, I needed to apologize.- Fine and common.
If I could do it, I did it.- Fine and common
If it was my mistake, I have needed to apologize.-- No good! (Oh, maybe possible in a very limited situation, but certainly odd out of context.)
If I could do it, I have done it.- - OK
