Can the Runner decline the extra credits (Red Herrings, NAPD Contract) and not steal the agenda?
Yes. A designer reply relayed in the thread confirmed that the added cost is a cost to steal, so a Runner who doesn't pay simply doesn't steal the agenda. The later FAQ wording ('unable or unwilling to steal it by paying the additional cost') fits this reading, but it comes to us from forum posts rather than a document we can quote.
