Q1. "I have a new iPad. Data is transferred and on cloud. How do I set my old iPad back to factory settings before I send it?"
A1. Do as instructed here: What to do Before you Sell, Give Away, or Trade in your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch - Apple Support
Q2. "If I erase data on old iPad, how can I make sure it won’t affect data in cloud or new iPad?"
A2. Log out of iCloud on this iPad. Being no longer associated to your iCloud account, nothing will sync and it will not affect your other devices, including this new iPad.
