So will that "movable weight to change the barrel harmonics" on a 16 inch barrel be more accurate than an 18 inch barrel without one?

Yes, its very possible. Mini-14's have very flexible barrels because of their design. ...even the newer "heavy" barrel is still like a wet noodle compared to many other designs. And with any barrel, the longer it is, the more likely it is to flex, bend and twist while the projectile is going down the rifling.
The only benefits longer barrels offer are more room to increase velocity and a longer sight radius if you use the iron sights.
