Newton 3

Let's say I hit the wall with 50 N, then according to N3 the wall hit me with same 50N in opposite direction.

Let's just imagine the wall started actively pushing on me (5 N) at the same time I hit with 50 N, then what's the total force on me? 55 N?

Yes, the net force exerted on you would be 55 N.
