A Qari and Hafiz comes from masjid and recites Quran in a room and women pray Trawih in a room besides that room where Qari recites and in the centre, there is curtain but still women observe full purdah.

If it is permissible for a woman to hold the mushaf during nafil prayers then she will have to pick it up and put it down after every surah fatiha. So similarly if I have my Ipad besides me preset to the list of audios of quranic surahs, can I touch the play button to listen to audio recital of long surahs?This way I can listen to the entire Quran like in tarawee at home

This is false and baseless. One can pray as many rakkah as he wants providing that he doesn’t  perform another witr in the same night.
