I was given a .kml file and asked if I could provide the coordinates for each point in it. 

How can I do this in ArcGIS Pro? 

When I try the KML to Layer tool it tells me empty dataset

Check if you have access to the KMZ (zipped KML) file.

In case you don't, you could convert the KML to KMZ using KML to KMZ Converter Online - MyGeodata Cloud

Use the resulting KMZ file in KML to Layer tool.

It should give you the desired output.

You could then use Calculate Geometry Attributes (Data Management)—ArcGIS Pro | Documentation to calculate the X (Lon) and Y (Lat) values.

Would it be possible to share a sample KML file (causing the issue) for us to test?
