    Hi,
    The Midosuji Line is the city subway so it's not covered by the pass. The subway is not expensive, however.
    You can make a 14 day pass pay off with your plans, used Dec 18-31. But it seems to me that to go to Takayama you need to go by Nagoya anyways, so you might as well go to Takayama right after going to Nagoya. It's up to you though.

    As far as getting from KIX and local city transport, an Icoca & Haruka discount ticket can help.

    If time runs short, for local sights taking a taxi also becomes a good option since there are 4 of you.

    I'd also recommend taking a day away from Osaka and see Nara - it is well worth it. Lastly, on the last few days of the year, some places are closed, so look at the websites of the places you plan to visit and check first. Have some back up plans just in case.

    Both are operated by JR East, so yes.
