no need to deactivate anything since you can have as many idevices as you want.


they'll sync automatically.


no need, but to redownload, just 'buy' it again. you won't be charged since it knows you paid for it already.


back up your existing ipad to your computer via usb, then set up the new ipad from that backup. you can use icloud but it will be a lot slower that way. after its done (which might be a while depending on how much stuff is on it), check to be sure everything is there. you may need to enter some passwords again but that should be about it. after you're satisfied it's as it should be, erase the old ipad.
