I have the Bestiary boxes plus the monster codex but am looking to buy the rest of the pawns which I do not own which is about 15 sets.
Is there alot of repeats throughtout the products or are they fairly unique products?
All of the boxes are unique. You will start seeing repeats in the individual smaller sets such as Summon Monsters, Heroes & Villains and the various AP sets. There aren't enough repeats to be an issue, unless you have a particular dislike for sinspawn.
I guess another question I should’ve asked with this is if the second edition of pathfinder is going to have any kind of impact on the pawn products or if they will be unaffected by the new edition?

I don't think there is any official answer on that: Paizo hasn't released any details on which specific Second Edition products they're planning to make. While they have announced that all of the PF1E Pocket Edition rulebooks will continue to remain in print "for as long as people are buying them," they have not said anything about what the future will hold for the existing Pathfinder Pawn Sets. (I'm pretty sure that the only ones they do reprint now are the Bestiary Boxes.)
That said... I think it's safe to assume that there will continue to be monsters in the game, and I think it's also safe to assume that grid-based combat will also continue to be the standard... meaning that any Pawn Sets you buy now will continue to be useful for PF2E. (Or, for that matter, any 1" grid RPG system, like 5E... I've certainly used Pathfinder Pawns in 5E games!)
The only thing we know for certain is that there will be NEW artwork in the second edition bestiaries. This could lead one to speculate that the early basic bestiaries at best, we be printed anew.
That’s kind of what I was thinking and wondering about. I ended up purchasing the whole pawn collection this week anyways. I just hope they don’t change the art style so much that pawns look out of place next to each other.
