Do I need a separate data plan for my iPad? Can’t it just connect from my iPhones cellular similar to my Apple Watch?

You could, but then you wouldn't need a cellular iPad. You could connect to your iPhone Personal Hotspot for data when you are away from your home wi-fi. But, if you wish to use the iPad that is cellular when the iPhone is not around, you would need a separate SIM for the iPad and a data plan for it. Most carriers here in the US only charge $10/month for an iPad cellular add-on to your current plan.
