My daughter is constantly eating up data and uses Messages. I want that she does not get any iMessages until she is connected via Wi-Fi.
Is there a option to turn off Messages when on the Cellular Network?

Can you create a Folder Action to empty the ~/Library/Messages folder at intervals?
If I understand you question correctly you want to receive SMS and iMessages on both your iPad and iPhone. If so follow these steps.
If you haven't already done so upgrade both your device to the latest iOS 8 firmware (iOS 8.1)
To fix your iMessage problem, on the iPhone go to Settings > Scroll down to messages > Toggle iMessage on and enter your Apple ID credentials
To get your iPad receiving SMS messages with your phone's number go on your iPad unlock it and keep it on.
Then go back on your iPhone and stay on the page I told you to go in step 2 and tap 'Text Message Forwarding' you should see your iPad and any other Apple devices you have if they are on the same iCloud account (which they will need to be for this too work).
If they are: Toggle the button next to the name of your iPad and it will ask you for a code which should popup on the iPad.
If not: Go back to the main settings on the device not correctly set with iCloud scroll back up to 'iCloud' tap it and sign out if already signed in and sign in the with the Apple ID used on the other device.

You can disable which app is using the most data instead. Some apps download data for updates, etc. For sure it's not the Messages app.
And for the Messages app, there's just an option to send an iMessage as a text message when cellular data is not available.
