At least in the US, anything you create on a company computer can legally be the property of the company. Any computer programming, hobby projects, writing, media creation, or anything else you do on a company-owned device will most likely belong to them unless it is explicitly stated otherwise in a contract.
Sorry to say, I don't think there is any way to practically or legally separate personal use on an ipad from work use when it's company issued.
Not that I know of. Unless someone has stated their gender or pronouns, I just use people's names and avoid anything that assumes or implies gender.
