Seeing as the Torah already taught the current Mitzvos in Mishpatim, 23:14-19, why does it repeat them here?

1.

Rashi: The Torah often repeats Mitzvos, sometimes as much as three or four times, to render the perpetrator Chayav (punishable) for as many Lavin or Mitzvos Asei as the number of times they are repeated. 1

Unless it repeats it to teach us something - For example, refer to 34:26:3:1.

Why does the Torah refer to Hashem as "ha'Adon Hashem"?

Rashbam (in Mishpatim, Sh'mos, 23:17): This title always applies to Hashem when he expels some people from the land and installs others.

Why does the Torah add the words "Elokei Yisrael" - which it did not do in Mishpatim, Sh'mos, 23:17?

Oznayim la'Torah: Because in the interim, Moshe had Davened to Hashem that the Shechinah should not rest on any nation than Yisrael, 1 at which point He became known as 'the G-d of Yisrael'.
