I am amending my 2018 return because I missed a W2. I already paid taxes in 2018. Does that count towards additional payments?

If you are adding income to your tax return when you amend, it is possible that you will owe more tax--but we cannot see what you are entering. It will depend on how much tax was withheld from the W-2 you are adding to your income when you amend.

When I filed in 2018, I owed money and paid about $1200. But it turns out I forgot a W2, so I got a letter from the IRS and I'm filing an amendment for 2018. When I completed it, it said that I owed more money, but what about the original $1200 that I paid when I initially filed?

You should get credit for the 1200 payment on 1040X line 16. Is it on line 16? If it's not on line 16 you need to go to Forms mode and add it. The amended return is only for the difference you need to pay.
