Hello and welcome nowayman1,

To answer your questions:

On the iPad app you get part of the Focus features, you can Swim (random play) a saved Focus from the iPad app but you can't search through a Focus like you can from a Control 10/15. Unfortunately you need a Control 10/15 to save a Focus but you can add tags to the metadata using your PC, these tags can be Focused in Swim mode from the iPad app.

You can only see multiple album covers when using a Control 10/15, the iPad app will only show the album cover for what is playing.

The iPad app is only vertical, there is no way to landscape it as far as I know.

I haven't seen a vidio showing the iPad app but it is very fast and smooth.

I'm sure you will enjoy the MC200 but to get the full benefit of the Sooloos interface you will need a Control 10/15, you could always add that later.
