Ours looks similar to this system, [www.lowes.com] but with this fixture intead, [www.direct-lighting.com]

Is it safe for us to add 2 more fixtures?

I am not sure. The specs just say "number of lights: 3.0" but there is no mention about how much current the rails support. Have you considered switching to LED bulbs instead, I see the fixture you linked to takes LEDs ("Item#265 not only takes halogen lamp but also LED bulb to help you to reduce energy cost.". If you replace the bulbs in the existing 3 fixtures to LEDs and also use LEDs in the 2 new fixtures, then the total power consumption would be the same of even lower and it should be safe.

Originally the system came with incandescent flood light bulbs. I replaced them with 120 Volt/23 watt/5000k Day Light curly CFL. They are producing decent brightness. I could not find anything brighter. I tried one LED bulb ($45 each!) it was super bright. However, the light source was a single point; not spreading, which is what we need.

if the original incandescent bulbs were 50W each, then the rail can handle 150W. If you replaced with 23W, you only use 1/2 of the rated power, so you can easily add 2-3 more CFL of 23W each.

Each fixture can handle up to 65 Watt max. Then I am good to go for more fixtures Thanks!

I use these PAR shaped down lights in my cans, they have a curly bulb in a PAR shaped lamp.

Yes, I saw those at HD but they are too big for the light fixtures and their lumen is only 600 compared to the curly bulbs which has 1600 lumens each.
