Not a good sign. Unfortunately repair may cost more than the machine is worth. Maybe your homeowners insurance can pay for the damages. Never let food near a computer.

Macs do not run iOS. When you get it repaired, it would be good to go to Apple menu -> About This Mac to find out what actually is running.

A1418 could indicate several models. See this tip on identifying Macs:
