We recommend sanding before applying a second coat. Ideally, you should do it with a thicker sandpaper, 320-400, so that it generates a good mechanical anchor. Leaving a completely mark-free finish is complex, so once that second coat is dry you will have to sand, polish and polish. At that point you can start with a 600-800 or even 1000, it all depends on how you finished.
A gelcoat should not be applied over an old gelcoat as it will peel off over time. Even if you sand the old gelcoat. To apply a gelcoat/topcota, you would need to remove the old gelcoat and then apply a new resin and fiber laminate. Another option would be to sand the old gelcoat, then apply an epoxy primer and finally 2-3 coats of 100 g/m2 each of a high-resistance polyurethane paint.
