Given the vectors $\overset{→}{m}=( \sqrt{3}\sin 2x+2,\cos x) $ and $\overrightarrow{n}=(1,2\cos x)$, let the function $f(x)=\overset{→}{m}\cdot \overrightarrow{n}$.

(1) Find the maximum and minimum values of $f(x)$ on $[0,\frac{\pi }{4}]$.

(2) In $\triangle ABC$, $a$, $b$, $c$ are the sides opposite to angles $A$, $B$, $C$ respectively. If $f(A)=4$, $b=1$, and the area of $\triangle ABC$ is $\frac{\sqrt{3}}{2}$, find the value of $a$.
