All I know is when transfering my Wii I had my points transfer into my account.

No idea if it would work on a card though.

Transfered to which account? Your Wii Shop account in the Wii App or your eShop account?

Wii Shop account in the Wii app

do you buy points in the Wii U the same as in the Wii? Example, 1000 points cost $10. How many points do Wii U Ware games (or whatever are called) cost?

1) read Nintendo site and it specifically says DS and Wii points are NOT usable in Wii U but still usable in their respective shops. Of course stuff bought in Wii Shop can only be used in the Wii application on Wii U. (currently)

2) Wii U / 3DS doesn't even use "points". It uses real money. The cards you buy are in real denominations and show in your eShop as such.

Hope this clears it up for anyone a little unclear.
