To test a concrete floor for sufficient dryness before painting you should tape a two foot by two foot square of (clear) plastic film to the floor, wait 48 hours and see if the concrete is darker under the plastic or if any condensation has occurred on the underside of the plastic. If so then the floor is not dry enough. If no condensation or darkness, paint.

Do you need to etch the existing epoxy floor before you apply the new epoxy paint?
Etching only benefits bare concrete floors. If you want to ensure that your new coating will adhere to your old coating, blend enough of the epoxy to cover a single square foot section, let it cure for a week, then check the adhesion by scoring a cross-hatch design in the new coating, put some duct tape across the scored area, then quickly pull up the tape. If the epoxy comes up, then you will have to remove the old coating prior to recoating the floor.

Apply muriatic acid to dry surface (good ventilation a must). This removes stains and oils.

Apply sodium hydroxide (10% solution) to neutralize remaining acid. Rinse and dry. Ready for your choice of floor treatment. Recommend a urethane sealant first, to prevent moisture absorbed in concrete from coming up under the coating you finish with.
