If I take off from top of cliff and homepoint is set from that location;if I fly out and then hit rth will the mini use its current position to effect the rth height or will it know that the cliff top could be 50 mtrs higher than use that to set the rth height??
 
The RTH height is always the height above the takeoff point. For example, if you descend below the takeoff point (a negative altitude), the aircraft will fly up to zero meters and then up to the RTH height.

Also, review the RTH section of the Mavic Mini manual. Other scenarios can occur depending on how close the aircraft is to the home point.
 
or will it know that the cliff top could be 50 mtrs higher than use that to set the rth height??
Your drone has no way to sense how high it is above the ground.
40 feet or 4000 feet, it makes no difference.
