Regarding detecting iPad mini (vs iPad 2), this article suggests that there is no way to programmatically determine whether you're running on an iPad mini (v1) vs an iPad 2. This seems to be a very deliberate choice by Apple.

I'd be delighted to be proven wrong. Anyone know any better?

The iPad Mini has the same resolution of iPad 2, and it shouldn't be a retina display so you can get that info by JavaScript with this code:

if (window.devicePixelRatio >= 2) {
    // retina display...
} else {
    // ...
}
