I didn't recall.

: -- Al Mitzvas Tefilin

Is this a berakhah on a minhag, or a minhag to say a 2nd berakhah?

: -- L'hadlik Ner Shel Yom Hakippurim

Agreed. (As is my case of menorah in shul on Chanukah.)

: -- Al Mitzvas Tzitzis

If tallis qatan is minhag; machloqes rishonim.

: -- Baruch Hashem L'Olam / Yiru Eineinu (in maariv)

Again, I think this is a minhag to say a berakhah, not a berakhah oveir
la'asiyas minhag.

Tir'u baTov!
