You need to use the credentials for the Administrator account of the
existing forest.

Not abc.com? Correct

You have already created a.abc.com, it will be your Forest Root domain, its
children will be child.a.abc.com.
Or you can create a new tree b.abc.com, but a.abc.com will still be the
forest root.
I don't think it will let you start a new tree at abc.com, but I could be
wrong. Usually abc.com would be the forest root, and its children would be
a.abc.com and b.abc.com and so on.
You could also start a new tree at abc.net for example, but a.abc.com would
still be abc.net's forest root.

Not necessarily parent, forest root. A forest root can be a parent domain,
but it does not have to be, it can also be in a different tree. For istance
you can create a new tree named b.abc.com, for which a.abc.com is its forest
root.
