I lost everything on my iPad. I did a restore from my backup but all of my apps were gone. I can reload them individually and that's fine but I don't remember all of them or their names. Is there anyplace that I can look within the app store or somewhere that tells me what all I've downloaded?

Yup. If you did a transfer of purchase recently, they'll all be there. Go to store then view account in iTunes. Long list of all your purchases. Also check for available downloads.

Outside my iPad, or was it inside?
There is no way to bulk download all the apps you lost. But it is possible to see all the apps you purchased (free, as well as paid ones):

On your desktop, open iTunes, then go to ->Store->View My Account->log in->Purchase History

If you have difficulty, you can call a rep and they will place all of your apps in your available for downloads sections. This will make sure you recover purchased ones specifically.

Thanks for the info. I've been dealing with apple support and haven't been able to get anything constructive. I'll try these. Thanks again.

Wouldn't your ipa files for your lost apps be in your iTunes media folder on your computer?
