I recently set up my old 7th Gen iPad (running iPadOS 16) as a new child account for my daughter. I even created an Apple ID for her.
I just realized that text messages, sent to my iPhone 14 Pro Max (running iOS 16), are also being sent to “her” iPad.
Why is that?
How do I undo it so that she can have her own messaging (this iPad has its own unlimited data plan)?

Let me check these settings that you've mentioned.
Also, I reset this iPad before setting it up for her but the process still involved my iPhone 14 and my Apple ID. I selected "set up for someone else / child account" (I don't recall exactly how it was worded)

Make sure that you are not signed into Messages on the old iPad. Settings>Messages>Send and Receive. If you are, turn off Messages and then sign in with your daughter’s Apple ID.
You should make sure that you aren’t signed into FaceTime or the App Store and iTunes with your ID as well on the iPad. What you should have done is erased the iPad and started over with your daughters account.

Demo,
The first half of your second paragraph was the solution!
I logged out as me (not sure why it logged me in during the setup of somebody else's device), but I logged her in and BINGO!
Great. I’m glad you got it sorted out.
Why are messages, sent to me, showing on my child’s iPad?
