Assume I'm capable of crafting, say, a greater cloak of elvenkind or a bag of holding type III from scratch. If I happen to have a cloak of elvenkind or bag of holding type II already, can I upgrade them by Crafting the difference in cost, instead of Crafting from scratch? Do the rules address this one way or another?

As a special case of this question, can I upgrade property runes to their greater versions by Crafting the price difference?
It functions as this in base Pathfinder, so I assume it's the same equation here.
Can you pay the difference without the craft skill?
You would basically be paying somebody to upgrade it for you, so you would need to hand the item over to the craftsman for the duration of the time needed to craft the upgrade.

Property runes aren't upgrades, they're additions.
Type +2 weapon potency; Level 8; Price 400 gp
This rune can be etched only on a weapon of expert or better
quality that already has a +1 weapon potency rune. It increases
the weapon’s potency rune to +2.

That's potency runes, which are not the same as property runes. Property runes are all stand-alones.
Property runes add special abilities to armor or a weapon in addition to any potency rune the item has. If a suit of armor or a weapon has multiple runes of the same type, only the highest-level rune applies. For instance, a weapon with a standard corrosive rune and a greater corrosive rune applies only the greater corrosive rune’s effects.
Ah, gotcha.
