The Command bar is not on the right of Menu Bar but the right of the Tab Bar, but that is another discussion ;-) Why not resort to that old favourite, the brackets: "... additional menu ('Command Bar')".
"new menu"or "newly added menu" might also fit.

I think you're right. The author has chosen their own name for it, and the answer to your question is "additional menu", unless you want to be interventionist in your translation and call it the command bar.

I was just describing how it appears on my own version of IE8, which replicates the diagram in the German source text! Here is the German. It's possible this isn't a Microsoft term at all, just the author describing it as an "additional menu".

"Wie sieht das neue Zusatzmenü aus?
Das Zusatzmenü befindet sich nun auf der rechten Seite der Menüleiste und enthält folgenden Punkte: " (followed by the diagram as described above.)

"Extras" is mostly ... ... a translation of "Tools" in this context I believe, and that should be the case here as well. But I'm confused by your description of the individual elements. What are you referring to here?

I'm no expert, but it's not really a menu, is it? It's just a collection of icons.
Despite your helpful description, it would still be useful to have the German.
