In parallel let me help you to look for the files that fill your / file system.
Your post#11 explains some things. (In your post#1 you said that "df -h" gave output for "/" only. That was misleading.)
Can you shortly umount the /mnt/backup and look for files? Such files are invisible when mounted.
(Just seeing that Peasant has the same idea in post#13.)

I was about to be walked through extending ext4 partition as a suggestion from one of the forums - which would've worked too (if done correctly), but ....
Yeah, I would not have done the "extend the root partition" approach. It would work but it is suboptimal.
It would be better to create a new partition for the mysql data and move it off the root partition. I try to keep as much user data, dumps and backups off the root partition as I can, generally speaking.
You might still consider doing this, as you are still have your main apps data directory on your root partition.
My suggestion to you, after you got mysqld running again on the (temp) /home partition, was to ask you to create a new partition for your db data. Normally I call this, not surprisingly:
Anyway, you are well on your way now. Well done.
