   It definitely won't be a perfect clone since iTunes doesn't actually   
   backup *everything*.   
      
   Presumably the "new iPad Pro" is actually a newer model than the old   
   one, in which case some apps may need re-installing to get newer   
   versions of them that will work with the newer version of iPadOS.   
      
   Most of the rest of your personal stuff will get transferred okay.

   It will depends on the bank and how their app / website security works.   
      
   "Two-factor authentication" usually just means sending an email to an   
   already known address or a text message / robo-phonecall to a phone to   
   check it is you logging in and performing the actions. It isn't usually   
   bothered about the individual devices or IP addresses as such,   
   otherwise it would be impossible to do anything when on holiday, etc.
