Q: sharing apps between mac and ipad pro
When I double clicked my iPad Pro, I saw a gray bar at the bottom that had Safari - From "Howard Brazee's Computer. When I opened it, Safari came up with a web page I had looked at earlier today on Chrome. I went to my Mac, and saw a Chrome icon left of the Doc, with an image of an iPad on it. Moving my cursor over it, I see it says "Google Chrome - From iPad".
I closed the app on my iPad Pro, and started Safari on my Mac. Then I repeated the double click and selected the iPad Pro. It opened Safari with the earlier tab and with this tab here (I'm in Chrome). I tried opening some other apps to the front on my Mac. If it's mail, my iPad will open mail but not find anything (I don't get mail on my iDevices). I tried Photos and TextEdit and iBooks but they didn't talk with each other (and Safari didn't show up on my iPad gray bar until I moved the focus back to Chrome). So I Googled to find out how this works without luck. Is there a tutorial somewhere that explains what's happening here?

What year and model Mac do you own?
Depending on the year and model Mac you own and if it is running the current iOS and OS X systems, you are seeing the Continuity functionalities of both iOS and OS X.
