Just bought a Mac Mini and its connected to my TV.

Now i have movies/photos/videos on my Mac that are nice to slideshow via the TV so ..

If i download Plex i can do this right?

Am i also right in thinking Plex will stream ANYTHING off my mac to my IOS device?

So i can leave my mac on at home and sit at work on 3G or wifi with my iphone or ipad and watch content?

Yes, but you can also do that with the build in software, so that depends on how you want things displayed.

If you mean video/music/picture files, then yes.

Indeed. My girlfriend uses our Plex setup for that exactly, since she works at a call center (Not that kind!) during the evenings/nights. :)
