I do believe that to get the game on different platforms, you indeed need to purchase it again.

However if you get another iPad (or another Mac once you've purchased the game the 2nd time) you would be able to get the game again from the source from which you purchased it.

This is common in video games. I own 3 versions of MInecraft (though one was free), one for PC, one for Android, and one (the free one) on my Raspberry Pi.

Ah, that I can't help you with. I know absolutely nothing about purchasing anything on or for a Mac.

There are Mac versions available for download on both Steam and the Humble Store, and pretty much anywhere you can buy the game (desktop one, that is), I think.
