     I did not save anything in pspp yet.
     
     First -- Once I upload and save in pspp, do I have to begin a new Excel
     file?

Excel is a spreadsheet program whereas PSPP is a statistical analysis tool.
The  native file formats are completely different.  Although it is possible
to convert between them, in general you should save your work in PSPP's 
native .sav format.
     
     Can I add the new Subjects to the open file ?

Yes.  There should be no problem doing that.
