I normally dive with a rash guard only - 14 lbs in seawater. How much more weight should I add for a 1 mm full suit?
How much more weight?

I personally wouldn't add any for a 1mm

It's going to depend on manufacturer but a suit that thin should have little to no inherent buoyancy. I would think 2 lbs at most if you have no opportunity to do a weight check.

LOL Its a long steep flight of stairs to the ocean. 
I was hoping to get it right without carrying any extra...

I cannot imagine anyone needing 14 pounds with only a rashguard. 6 (or maybe 8) would seem more likely. Why do you think 14? Have you done a weight check with an empty tank?
The 1mm will add nothing to worry about.
