I do agree is just emphasizing I agree.
So, you can use both of them, but if you want to emphasize that you really agree with something, you add "do" and say I do agree.
You can also add do in other situations like
Q"Did you take the pills?"
A" Yes, I took the pills" or "Yes, I did take the pills."

I do + 動詞 → ひょっとして相手に疑われていそうなときに、「本当だよ。〜しないと思ったら大間違いだよ」という風に強調する表現。
それ以外にも、助動詞を強調して話すと同じニュアンスになります。
例）
猫の絵が得意と言ったのに、目隠しをして描いてみたら下手くそだった。
「猫の絵が得意なんじゃないの？」→ I thought you said you could draw cats.
「描けるよ。（本当だよ。）目隠しをしていなければの話だ！」→ I CAN draw cats. Just not when I'm blindfolded!
例）
ピザはどう、と言われて「大好き！」と言ったのに、猫舌なので、ピザが机に来てもしばらくは手を出さなかった。
「え、ピザが好きなんじゃないの？もしかして話を合わせてただけ？？」→ Don't you like pizza? Or were you just SAYING that?
「好きだよ！（本当だよ！）猫舌なだけ。」→ I DO like pizza. I just can't eat it until it cools a bit.
また、別に疑われているような空気じゃなくても、「明確にしておこう。これは確かに認めざるを得ないが…」というような話をするときも、例えば
I do agree with you, but...
とか言ったりします。
