RewriteRule mypage/page/([^/]*)/category/([^/]*) /?p=main_page&page=$1&cid=$2 [L]
RewriteRule mypage /?p=main_page [L]

Answer 1

You have a typo but more importantly you are missing anchors in your regex. You can use:

RewriteEngine On

RewriteRule ^mypage/page/([^/]+)/?$ ?p=main_page&page=$1 [L,QSA]
RewriteRule ^mypage/categroy/([^/]+)/?$ ?p=main_page&cid=$1 [L,QSA]
RewriteRule ^mypage/page/([^/]+)/category/([^/]+)/?$ ?p=main_page&page=$1&cid=$2 [L,QSA]
RewriteRule ^mypage/?$ ?p=main_page [L,QSA]
