I have heard that a lot of people have been getting banned for using keypads and keyboards from other places.

The safest way to think about it is this:

Are you creating any macros that do things that would otherwise be impossible, or extremely difficult to do manually? (ie, macros that will cast X spell constantly one after another)
Are you using it to automate any tasks that could not be automated with Warcraft's own macro system? (ie, fishing & gathering, grinding AKA botting, multiboxing)

If yes, remove those macros. If no, you're likely to be perfectly fine.

Related question:

Is it allowed to be online on two or more accounts simultaneously, and, for example, have one character on follow on the other, and kill mobs on the other?

--> Could I boost a character through an instance by having him sit back and clear the instance with the other character?

In short, no it is not allowed. Not that I am aware of.

Not necessarily true. I was banned for using a gamepad only using in game macros. Nothing was automated, but my movements were very different due to the gamepad. I would use caution and just use a keyboard and mouse, staff treat you are guilty until proven guilty.
