The Wii U doesn't have remote play. How have they copied it if the U doesn't have it.?

It does.
"It can display an entirely different image, or duplicate the television screen into the Wii U GamePad. Off-TV Play is the term used for when an entire game is played strictly on the controller, without the use of a television."
Distance is limited, but you can use it to play the game from another room, or free up the TV to allow someone to do something else with it while you play your WiiU game.

Off screen play is a byproduct of having a second screen.However, the main point of the pad is dual screen interaction. Something that was done with the Gameboy Advanced. So they didn't copy PSP remote pkay. Sony copied them.

Your Gameboy Advance (pretty sure you mean Nintendo DS) reference is about two screens integrated on the same hardware. That is not the same as a separate screen that can be used remotely, so it's certainly not a byproduct of that. Nintendo had two screens on their old Donkey Kong Game & Watch back in 1982.
It's purpose, just like with the NDS, was to give you more screen, not to let you stream the entire game from your console.
The PSP/Vita introduced the ability to play your console games on the go.

No it's was the Gameboy Advanced that connected to the GameCube. That's the first interaction between console and handheld. Again, the Wii U isn't about playing on the go. It's about dual screen. Just wireless dual screen. But no remote play on the go.
