I can see my iPad backed up to the cloud. How do I access the actual files that it backed up?

You cannot. The backup is a closed package.

You can see what is set to backup by going to Settings->Account(top of settings)->iCloud->Manage Storage->Backups->Your device name. You'll get a list of content and apps that are being backed up up to iCloud. You can control what gets backed up there.
