The repeater compass in RL is just that, a repeater of the main gyro compass, as you already knew, i assume.
In il2 its, afaik, the same, a indicator for the main gyro compass, indicating north in relation to the planes axis.
The radio compass, as you've already written, points toward the choosen NDB or Radio Station.

What seems to be confusing a few people is that in 4.09 the repeater compass used to constantly point towards the next waypoint like an RDF but in 4.10 it is just a compass. When you move the double lines on the Repeater you are not moving a directional aerial to get the strongest signal; all you are doing is marking what bearing you would like to fly. It is just a handy guide to help you fly straight.
