If I purchase a new mini iPad from apple, with cellular data, can I just take out my old SIM card and put in the new one? My service is AT&T. When I was going through the purchase it did not ask my service provider. For some reason I thought that mattered????
In many cases, transferring cellular service between WiFi+Cellular models of iPad is as simple as just moving the physical DataSIM between devices.
Remove or switch the SIM card in your iPad - Apple Support
In some cases, you may need to contact your Cellular Provider for a replacement SIM - or an update to your cellular service account.

You would be best advised to not purchase an iPad through a Cellular Carrier - in particular from AT&T. Many Carriers (in particular AT&T) are known to subsidy-lock the iPad to their own network - and may permanently disable the iPad’s internal eSIM.
Cellular model iPad purchased from Apple or Apple Authorised Retailers without a Cellular contract are not locked to any networks.
I wasn’t sure if I needed a “AT&T” iPad or not. For some reason I thought the we formatted to each provider separately
