Is the M4 iPad Air worth it over the M2 model?

Yes if you want Wi-Fi 7, more RAM and the newer chip for heavier multitasking. For basic browsing and streaming, the older Air still does the job.

Does it come with a keyboard or Apple Pencil?

No. The box has the iPad and a USB-C cable; the Magic Keyboard and Apple Pencil are sold separately.

The Air has an LCD panel and lacks the Pro's OLED display and ProMotion. It costs less and still runs the same apps.

Only if you store large video, photo or game libraries locally. Most buyers are fine with 256 GB or 512 GB.

It carries an IP67 rating, so it survives splashes and brief immersion. Apple still does not cover liquid damage under warranty.
