There's no apps in your itunes library at all, and it won't transfer the apps from your old ipod touch to the itunes library? Time to do some searching I guess.

You are using an up to date itunes and you have 3.something (not 3.0) fw on your ipod touch, right? (or iphone). I think you need 3.1 for the apps screens in the devices section.

I can't think of any other way to get them into your itunes library if you didn't buy them in itunes or transfer them from your devices after buying them on the device. (Well, other than brute force, because it won't charge you again, if you do purchase it in itunes, using the same itunes account.)
