If iPad Mini has an A5, and iPad 2 has an A5 (which is nearly 2 years old). The iPad 2 is expected to go down with software updates at the end of iOS 6, if the iPad Mini has the same chip, will it only last 1-2 iOS versions (iOS 6,7)

Definitely will last past 6. But I guess that's one concern for people who want to keep this for a few years, while putting the iPad 2 hardware in it was smart, it may not get all the latest features of iOS.
Me, I just plan on updating the Mini yearly.
iOS 8 with limited features as part of their planned obsolescence. Still better than Android though.
I just bought the 64gb Lte Black with Gray smart cover. If I am going to keep this for a year, I made the wrong choice.
