What's the difference between saying "and to top it off" and "and on top of it"?
I've heard using both phrases when people want to add one last thing in a list of things they are saying. Is there a slight difference?

A little bit different.
"to top it off" indicates that this is the last of a series of things.
"on top of it" indicates that this is the latest item, but there could be more to follow.
Note : when you pump the last few mL of gasoline into your car's gas tank, you are topping it off.
