Was wondering if there are any feats like Expanded Preparation for Arcanists which will allow me to gain extra spells per day. Thanks.
There are no feats for anyone to get extra spells per day to my knowledge. Expanded preparation gives an arcanist more options, not more uses.
Not extra per day, not by feat. Scribe Scroll (item creation), wands, certain potions and staves all store spells. A headband of vast intellect is your primary means of gaining raw spellcasting ability and power. Otherwise, you're looking at pearls of power which get expensive very quickly.
Echoing Spell allows you to cast a spell again, via metamagic. But the price is steep, the spell level increases by 3.

Not bad, especially cheaper than a Pear of Power at that level.
There are a couple of 3rd party feats that grant extra spell slots, but no official feats from Paizo.
I forgot about the feat scribe scroll, I guess that's a good way to be able to cast additional spells albeit a one time use

Spells known are relatively cheap for a prepared caster - much cheaper than feats.
The norm is that you purchase access from a fellow class member (NPC) who has the spell you want. This access costs half the cost of scribing the spell into a spellbook (if you had to do that). In the case of a witch, this cost is payable to get an NPC witch to agree to its familiar teaching your familiar a spell. This cost is (10gp * (spell level^2))/2
A witch can also learn a new spell via scroll, but this destroys the scroll.
The limiting factor here is how much your GM controls access to new spells and the NPCs who could teach them.
prd link for witch, see "adding spells to witch's familiar"
See also adding spells to a wizard's spellbook for cost information.
It's ridiculously bad. If you have a spell 3 slot 3 levels higher, you could have just prepared it in that with some far better metamagicEchoing Spell allows you to cast a spell again, via metamagic. But the price is steep, the spell level increases by 3.Not bad, especially cheaper than a Pear of Power at that level.
It's really only good if you're casting 4+ level spells, which in turn means you need to have 7 spell levels worth of casting.
It's not so much that it's "ridiculously bad," but it is certainly not a good option. At best, it's niche.

It's borderline useless in some ways until you use it with Spell Perfection.

^ this is the answer you're looking for.
Put all your utility spells and spells that don't allow a save into Consumable form.

Rod of echoing, lesser is 14000gp. That 3 extra slots a day of 3rd level or less. That cheaper than 3rd level pearl of power.
It's not amazing but I can see a role for this on some builds. Spells like 10min/level buffs or preping multiple haste without consuming to my slots would benifit.
For comparison 2nd level spell, caster level 6 scroll is 300gp. 47 scrolls plays for the rod. If you agressively cast spells you need to use the rod 46 times to get your moneys worth. I could make my money back on heroism and barkskin on my shaman. Casing both spells multiple time perhaps on myself.
This all said I can't ever imagine taking this as a feat.
Spells Known =/= Spells per Day.
Witches don't have Spells Known, unless they have Spontaneous Casting Archetype, e.g. Ley Line Guardian.
