Is this 2nd Techincal the proper call?

Assuming the technical was only for standing up, no.

Must the coach now leave the playing area?

Unfortunately, yes.
What people need to remember is that a T charged to a head coach (directly or indirectly) does not require them to remain seated for the entire game - it merely revokes the coaching box. Unfortunately, I don't think that those of us in coaching box states are familiar enough with the provisions of 10-5-1 and 10-5-2.
That said, it would take a lot of courage, but I would hope that the official and his/her partner could get together and perhaps rescind the technical . . .

Mark, you are totally right. Officials need to take a look at this, just because they have been seatbelted does not mean they cannot stand.
