No, nothing's missing.
A new address is generated for anonmity purposes once the old address has been used once. You can still use the old address as it's still owned by your wallet.

What is the TX id of the second transaction (or the address you sent it from)?

Electrum has your transaction history. You can get the txids of your sends from there. Double click the transaction and it will open up full details with the txids.

What was the electurm address you sent it to? In order to check if the transaction was sent to the right address or not (if so then the TXid can be viewed from there).
