If you added inverts after only 2 weeks I'd say yes you're moving faster than I would recommend.
When can I add another fish?

You have a small tank. You are moving a bit quick, however even under the best of circumstances you are pretty full already outside of some small goby's like a neon blue goby or something similar.
Yea, hey, dont take it like were like "What are you doing man oh, yer soooo wrong!"

Did you cycle your tank at all? the question was asked, but I didn't see an answer. I'm guessing you didn't. With that said, I would say that you are moving faster than I definitely would have with my current knowledge from the site and books.
That said, when I first started, I listened to the PetCo employee who sent me home with my first bag of salt and 2 clownfish to cycle the tank. Yes, I had fish before there was even saltwater. Scary thought. I thought that the source was a knowledgeable one, but now that I think of it, I feel horrible about doing that to the fish even though one lived over a year when my mom accidentally killed it when I was gone for a weekend and the other lived 3 years until it caught the plauge of the tank. So, just learn from it. You've found a great resource here so read up to provide the best you can for the animals.

All of the above. You add to the bioload, you add to the stress, sometimes overstocking can be fish that are too big or need more room than your tank provides as well. For guidelines you take the previous things into account and juggle them to come up with a good solution for your situation and in my opinion it is better to understock than overstock.
