If you make the Etoys window about 10 inches diagonally, it will be roughly as large as the iPad.

This emulation reproduces many problems quite faithfully. There are no mouse-over events (noticeable e.g. in the paint palette), and the hand obstructs the view onto what you want to touch (noticeable everywhere). And that emulated hand is even smaller than my real hand! 

Try enabling the "indicateTouchPosition" preference in the About flap. That makes it a little bit easier to hit things ...
