Yes. The material provisions must be in the testator's handwriting and it must be signed by the testator to be a valid holographic codicil.

Sure. The fact that the prior document was typed or handwritten does not set the requirement for any following document. As long as it complies with the requirements for a holographic codicil, you should be good to go. Contact your local bar association for referral to an attorney who specializes in this. Often, but not always, the attorney will do an initial consultation free of charge. You will then be in a better position to determine what to do next. Best of luck to you!
