If I buy a sat Radio to use in the shop and house, will they light up the sat radio in my car on the same subscript, or will I have to put the new radio in the car and deal w/ a wiring mess ?

If your vehicle has a sat-ready radio of either (Sirius/XM) type you are good to go. If not, you will need to either replace the radio or get an aftermarket adapter. Since Sirius/XM are one company, you can have a mixture of Sirius and XM radios on the same account. Been doing it for eight years now.

My new pickup says that I have, "All Access" which allows streaming to other devices while subscribed to service in the truck. Not sure this is relevant for the OP, but it is available.

Not sure this is relevant for the OP, but it is available.I think you are on track. I have a subscription for my car (Mostly Music. It doesn't have to be All Access, but some plans don't have the option) and added internet streaming for a couple of bucks, then just used my smart phone with a dock in the house or garage. The only thing I can think of where that wouldn't work is if OP has spotty internet or doesn't have a smart phone/computer available for streaming (such as at a campground). OP could probably call them up and get a 2 month free trial in the car to see if it works for him.But to answer the original question, each radio must have a separate subscription. Just subscribing to a home radio will not automatically turn it on in the vehicle. Only internet streaming can be used on different devices.
