Answer 1

you can put the onload code in a function, so when you create new content, you fire the function onload again...

$(document).ready(function() {
function returnAccess(){
//all your code when the page load
//all the code you need to run like events or something else...
}
function createContent(){
//code that create content
//then you run returnAccess() again
returnAccess();
}
returnAccess();
});

so when you create new content, you fire returnAccess() again... even you can put your function createContent inside return access if the new content execute too the create content...

Answer 2

setTimeout solves the problem:

 setTimeout(function(){
  $("[id^='requisition_material_items_attributes_'][id$='_item_name_autocomplete']").each(function (){
        $(this).autocomplete({
        minLength: 1,
        source: $(this).data('autocomplete-source'),
        select: function(event, ui) {
            $(this).val(ui.item.value);
        }
      });
    });
  }, 5000);
