I have a number (3) in red on my FaceTime icon on my iPad but I can't see what it's for. I've been onto my call history and no missed calls and I've now deleted all the calls made and received but the little red number is still there and I can't get rid of it. How do I do this and what was it for?

It will show up in your missed calls list in FaceTime.app (even if your computer is turned off at the time):
So yeah, FaceTime stores missed call information on Apple’s servers. It will show up in FaceTime.app, but you need to open FaceTime.app for it to show.
It's a bit of a drastic move, but why not delete the preference files for FaceTime? This should put FaceTime in an uninitialized state (at least for preferences, perhaps not for configured accounts).
Close FaceTime, click on the Finder, then hit the Go menu and choose Go to Folder….
Enter ~/Library/Preferences into the box and press enter. Look for any files that start with "com.apple.facetime" and move them to another folder (for backup purposes).
Open FaceTime back up, check your preferences, and see if the Auto-Accept continues to occur.

I have this happen frequently. The missed calls appear to be calls coming in on my iPhone, and then the status is 'handed off' to my iPad.
Just viewing the 'Audio' or 'Video' tab doesn't clear the notification.
I find that I have to click 'edit' then 'done' on both the Video and Audio tab, then when I return to the home screen from the FaceTime app the notification goes away.
