The iPad can be configured to automatically install - and for installed Apps to automatically update. App settings, however, are set independently on each device. As for associated data, whether or not this can be synchronised is entirely determined by how an App is designed/coded and where its data is stored.

Settings > App Store > [Automatic Downloads] >

Apps - set to ON
App Updates - set to ON

These settings are global - and are applied all installed/shared Apps.
