Will I receive the other amount too if it get confirmed ? Or it will be stuck forever.

First of all, don't think the fee in USD, it's useless, think ait in sat/vByte. Your tx has 24.4 sat/vbyte. The current fees are around 40-50 sat/vbyte.
If you want to spend (parts of) the rest of 0.00198082BTC, you can, depending on your wallet and settings, but keep in mind that:
* if for some reasons the first transaction is not confirmed, the second will be also remain unconfirmed
* if you put a higher-than-normal fee to the second transaction, that should make also the first transaction get confirmed faster (it's called CPFP - child pays for parent)
* since it's week-end, there's a good chance the first transaction doesn't need any help / CPFP in order to get confirmed ... today or tomorrow


If you are paying for a product and had a certain amount to pay to a one-time generated address, please be careful to what @o_e_l_e_o  said: a second tx could just cause more troubles. In such case you better discuss with the service/seller's support first.
