How to copy fields from one layer to another in shapefile?
Unchecked the first one to guarantee its safe. In the attribute table, deleted all the points of the second since the only thing important here is to keep the fields titles. Start to map new points with its new attributes.
How to copy a feature from one layer to another?

How do you change null geometry in QGIS?
First, make your layer editable. Then in an Attribute Table select a single row with a null geometry that you want to add a geometry to. Back in the map canvas, select the “Add Part” tool and draw your geometry. The null geometry will be replaced by your newly drawn shape. In QGis 3.0.2, this tool is in Edit Menu.
How to copy features from one attribute table to another?
The important elements for success above are to handhold QGIS to make sure the geometry is exported and then reimported, to make sure the CRS stays the same, and to ensure the data attribute names / column labels are unchanged. Use a formula in QGIS to achieve the same thing.

Why is my shapefile deleted in QGIS canvas?
