Accidentally , I poured one bottle 12OZ of Power Steering fluid(oily) into gas tank (half filled ) in my 1999 Toyota Sienna Van.... 6 cylinder engine.
What is a proper remedy:
Shall I fill it with more gas and pour a bottle of Lucas injector cleaner or Marvel mystery oil into gasoline or do I have to get it drained completely at a high cost.

It was dark and I mistook for it being an injector cleaner fluid.

Hey, the powersteering fluid goes in the power steering pump. It won't make its way into the pump from the gas tank. It will probably cause your vehicle to smoke a bit, and might have some power issues until its out of the system but it won't cause any major damage.
This is the first time I've ever heard of anyone doing that. Not to mention that's not even close to the right end of the vehicle where the power steering fluid is supposed to go.
I'm guessing a mistaken bottle instead of getting injector cleaner you got a hold of the power steering fluid. That's why there's labels on the bottles.
Anyhow no major harm caused, just a little smoke for a while.

Not much different than if the car was burning oil. It might foul the spark plugs. Don't worry about it.It's only a Toyota. Next time be more careful.

Fill up with gas . The power steering fluid will be so diluted it won`t hurt a thing .

Finish filling your tank and drive on. Don't worry about it. It won't harm anything.
