  1. you cannot transfer apps from one AppleID to another.
  2. yes, if you download a paid app with a new AppleID you will be charged as that AppleID is buying the app license for the first time.


App purchases are tied to the AppleID signed into the App Store at the time of purchase. They cannot be transferred and thus each AppleID signed into the App Store purchases apps for that AppleID.


When you change AppleID, you’re not “restoring’” anything. You are making a new purchase with a new login ID.

If you restore them using a new ID, you will be charged for the app if the app isn't a free app. You can try setting up Family Sharing between the IDs if you want to be able to share purchases made with the IDs.
