    If you have Settings > iCloud > Safari 'on' and are using the same iCloud account on both then your bookmarks should be kept in line. There are similar setting for Calendars and Contacts.

     

    For music, you can't backup that up to the cloud - whether iTunes purchased music can be redownloaded via the Purchased tab in the iTunes store app on your devices depends upon what country that you are in and whether the music remains in your country's store (and if you change countries you won't be able to redownload it). If you want your music to be available in the cloud then you would need to subscribe to iTunes Match (which I don't think is available in all countries) and upload your music to it from your computer's iTunes (you can only upload music copied from CDs or bought from other sites via a computer's iTunes).
