Wipe your new iPad and in the proces of setup fill in your apple id. Everything is downloading from internet so be aware it takes a while...

I already have apps etc on the new iPad.
 
Doesn't matter, you need to do a clean wipe and then you can restore. If you purchased apps and you backed up to iCloud, you will get your apps back.

iCkoud restore is no different from iTunes restore - you can restore only whole backup. Also now you should see 2 iPad backups in your iCloud (old one and new one) remember to choose right one...
