I am surprised I have not seen this asked yet (Or maybe I am just blind and I missed it)

Does anyone know if we will have to buy the 64 bit apps again or have they figured out someway to create the universal binary still so you can share the apps across your devices or will we be expected to buy the same app twice if we have multiple devices that are still 32bit?

It will likely vary by developer. Most will simply update existing apps to be compatible with all devices, including 64 bit. Some will inevitably create new versions of their apps that must be purchased separately as a cash grab, much like how ipad versions of apps currently work now.
