Each passenger must have his/her own card. Child's fare applies to 6-11 year olds. A Suica for children cannot be bought from a ticket machine.

2) Osaka has a "Kansai onepass" card (http://kansaionepass.com/kf_pr/kf_pr_en.html), which is a version of IOCCA with some local attraction discounts. I know IOCCA can work in Tokyo, but this onepass only mentions kansai so I wonder whether someone used this before in other areas... I probably will spend all the Y3000 initial load in kansai, but if it works in Tokyo I don't need to buy another IC card.

This Japanese language page is not very clear but it sounds as if you can use a "Kansai One Pass" in other areas just like an ordinary Icoca card. These IC cards cannot be used for inter-regional travel.
