Couple of things might be happening. The first punch moves the bag back, so the second travels farther and gets more speed and power. Also, your body is moving toward the bag already with the second punch, and probably positioning you a little better, adding momentum and backup mass. If you want more power on the first punch, relax, and pay more attention to body mechanics and footwork when you throw the punch. This is a guess, of course, since I havn't seen you work the bag. But try it and see if it works.

Yeah, without seeing you we can only make guesses. If you are in a fighting stance (one leg forward) then the front hand is going to be weaker because you don't turn your hip into the punch. It sounds like your first punch is more of a jab which won't have as much power, but can be used to set up other techniques.
