The air contains moisture (or water vapour) in varying amounts, depending on the humidity. A iced coffee - or anything else that is icy cold - has a temperature that is a lot colder than the surrounding air on a hot day.

When hot air hits the side of a cup of iced coffee, it reduces the temperature of the air. When this occurs, the water vapour in the air condenses, forming the "sweat" (or water droplets) on the side of the cup.

Does iced coffee have more caffeine than hot coffee?

It really depends on how they make it. Generally it ends up being about the same. Iced coffee is not just a locations regular brewed coffee poured over ice. Often what a location will do (Starbucks, McDonalds, etc.) When making iced coffee is double brew it so it ends up twice as strong. They refrigerate it so the ice doesn't immediately melt when the coffee is poured over it. It is definetly stronger before anything is added, but most places add a lot of cream to iced coffee which makes it balance out to be almost the same as hot coffee.
