What does it mean exactly by saying that nothing may be added to the Scripture in regards to "new revelations of the Spirit"? Is this saying that if God does speak that we need to make sure He doesn't contradict the Bible before we accept it as His voice even if we know it to be His voice?
I think that the meaning of that section of the WCF is self-evident. Since the subject is the written Word of God, aka: Scripture, the writers were teaching that nothing can be added in anyway to God's inspired written Word.

Secondly, God does NOT "speak" outside of the Scriptures, which the Holy Spirit Himself authored through the instrumentality of specific chosen men. (2Pet 1:19-21) And that written word is complete... totally sufficient as God's revelation to man for all matters of faith and practice. (2Tim 3:16, 17)

For a more thorough dealing with this subject see here: Does God Speak Apart From the Bible?

In His grace,
