Yes, you can use an Apple Watch without using iCloud. You cannot pair an Apple Watch to an iPad.
iCloud Syncing for your HealthKit data encrypts and stores your data in iCloud, similar to iCloud Keychain. If this is enabled, HealthKit information is stripped from iCloud backups, if you use them. You can also do local encrypted backups through iTunes. If you don’t use any of the above options, HealthKit data stays on the device.
On device, HealthKit has lots of permissions for apps to access health data, including per app reading and writing permissions for each data category.
