You're mixing up two different things.  'QGA' is the QEMU guest agent
which is a service than runs in the guest OS. 'QMP' is the QEMU monitor
socket which runs in the host OS. Both of these use the same JSON based
protocol, but take completely different commands.

You need to use 'QMP' for 'netdev_add', not 'QGA'.
