If stalling AOA is reached, adding engine power before the plane goes
into a stall will prevent the stall by increasing airspeed, right?

By reducing the AOA actually, which happens as a consequence of
increasing airspeed. But see below also.

Sort of. By the time you are down to stall speed, what additional engine
power actually does is to allow you to fly at *lower* airspeeds. However,

And it is interesting how that actually happens. The vertical component
of thrust takes a bit of the load off the wings which helps reduce the
AOA and keep it under the limit of the stall. Part of the weight is
in fact hanging by the propeller, like a helicopter.
