How do collections and unlocks work?

I recently found the collections tab in the cartel market and was surprised that there was a mega list of items that you can get from the cartel market.
About 2 years ago i bought a whole republic trooper set from the cartel market and i see now that i can 'unlock' it for other characters
the price is about half of what i paid, but if i unlock it on say my trooper, will it also be unlocked on my assassin then?
And if its unlocked and i want more copies, are these free or do they also require a fee?

This holds for items found in packs (but not for dyes). Very little of the items on the CM are "account wide" which is why we have the collections system.
