He was bringing up "evidence" of Rittenhouse's behavior months after his first court hearing that had already been deemed inadmissible. The prosecutor said that he thought the ruling was not final (like only a suggestion) and then he tried to bring into evidence the famous picture of Rittenhouse at the bar with a t-shirt that read "Free As Fuck".

Could the prosecutor be doing this to try and force a mistrial knowing they are going to lose?

If a mistrial is declared because of prosecutorial misconduct, then it can't be retried. It's the same as a not guilty verdict in that sense.
