I'd like to add a 2nd overhead light (in bedroom) to
the same switch that an existing overhead light is controlled by.

So, now, it looks like:

------------------cut------------------

[switch]--------[light 1]-------[light 2]

Is it as simple as wiring black to black and white to white on a new
wire from the existing light and then to the new fixture, keeping black
to black and white to white throughout?

yes as long as there are no other wires in the first light box. Remember to
extend the ground as well.
