RAC One Node is not free. Nor does it have anything to do with Clusterware. Nor does it have anything to do with MySQL. Nor is the ORACLE_SID the same on all cluster nodes. I think you may be confused by what RAC One Node is.
RAC One Node allows a connection failover between two or more active instances (temporarily) exactly the same as RAC. There is no way to achieve this with active-passive clustering. A database is one of RAC, RAC One Node or Single Instance. They are all mutually exclusive.
