I'm not sure that there is a need to get off old spraypaint, but for a new coat just use spraypaint. I would do 2 coats.

Yeah, just go over it. I've actually discovered that a lighter first coat all the way around makes it look a lot better, and the colors a bit more vivid (I was painting an M700 stock OD, and a first coat of bright green made it come out awesome.

If the layer you are painting over has oil from your skin on it or dirt it would be a good idea to clean it off before you paint over it.

... or not care about it, and the areas you touch most pick up wear patterns faster (I like them a lot, but you may not). I like doing that, and I"ll even use a really lame under-coat so it's more obious, but usually I just clean the areas that need to stay colored, and let the rest just kinda go however they want.
