Choice is yours. But you are opening the door for an unstable system, and other issues that may come from it.

Technically your motherboard should be downclocking the 1600 to match 1333 but you could face issues, generally not recommended.

Is it at least she brand?

Here, you could have more information

Damage? Probably not, you'll more have system issues than damage, but depending on how different the ram is, there is never guarantee.

I think you should run the new ram, since you had only 4gb the 8 will be a big difference. As well as, if you run the other stick, your RAM will run 1333mhz so you're getting slower but not a deal breaker
