What would happen if you used a paste and a 0.1 mm piece of copper sheet together as TIM for Laptop cpu or tower even?

Why layer it? Adding more layers/mediums for the heat to transfer through won't improve performance.

It would be worse than without it. You will just introduce one more air gap that needs to be bridged on either side of the copper sheet.
