As the title says can i add more sugar to up the ABV at the first racking? When I just tasted it it was a little warm well luke warm. I was kinda looking for more warm warm lol.

If you are talking about when you move it from primary to secondary, you can; you should boil the sugar in some water to kill any nasties, then cool down to the temperature of the fermenting beer. All standard sanitation rules apply.
