I think there is a mobile version of photoshop..called photoshop touch I think, although I'm sure its very neutered compared to the desktop version.
Sounds like it comes with some software that you can use as well.
Also, the android cintiq companion can be plugged into a computer and will be recognized as just a regular cintiq...so you can use it to run photoshop or whatever from your PC.
Photoshop Touch is strictly an image tweaker (I wouldn't even call it an editor.) and not a particularly robust one at that. Sketchbook Pro is great for doing full color sketches with no cleanup, but it limits how many layers you can use based on canvas size. (It's a memory thing.) You could probably do handpainted textures with it, but there's still the matter of previewing it on your model.
There are a handful of good painting apps out there, like Infinite Canvas, but all of them have their quirks and feel VERY watered down compared to PC grade software. They work best for rough concept art.

What's the name of that software?

Trying to texture 3d models on a tablet with any sort of accuracy is just going to be a frustrating experience that won't teach you much.
Practicing good ol' painting will, and those skills will translate to painting textures.
