Developing cross platform app

I have developed a phonegap app (android) using Eclipse IDE. Is there any way by which I can use same HTML, CSS and Js to develop IOS app? I do not have a Mac system to do that. Do I need Mac System or can it be done on windows? Do I need to have developer account? Can It be done without having Developer account? How can I create .ipa file without using Mac system?

Do I need Mac System or can it be done on windows?

Yes, you will need a Mac computer in order to compile it for iOS. You might want to use Xcode for the compilation purpose or test/deploy the application on device. You also need a Mac to configure certificates and provising profiles. Moreover, iOS Simulator does not run on Windows. Hence, Mac is a must one even if you develop app using web technologies. 

Do I need to have developer account?  Can It be done without having Developer account?

You won't need to have a developer account for writing applications for iOS. However, you will certainly need to have one when you want to test the app on your device. You will not be able to test your application on a device unless you have a developer account.

How can I create .ipa file without using Mac system?

Without a Mac system, this will not be possible. But, you might want to see more info on PhoneGap Build from this link.
