EAP works at the network level, your application(s) don't need to
to know about it.

There is no 'one network key'. Each tablet would have it's own separate
key and certificate, and can easily be revoked if the tablet is lost
or stolen.

If you want to require physical access, shield the whole room :)
Only people inside will be able to connect. Put a couple of
guards at the door, and you will be air-tight :)

If it not supported by Android natively, you either need to find some
manufacturer
that offers this in their custom firmware, or develop one yourself. This may or
may not be cheaper that using standard infrastructure (or shielding :))

Do post here if you find something that works.
