Even though I have completed IELTS, do I have to do OET again for New Zealand?

No, if your IELTS score meets the threshold, you generally do not need to retake it as OET for New Zealand, for either university admission or most visa categories. The exception is healthcare professionals, where nursing and medical councils accept either test only if your IELTS bands hit their minimums.

Is there a possibility to get admission in Australia or New Zealand with my profile, and what are the English language test requirements like TOEFL or IELTS for a Master's?

For the teaching program I am targeting, do I need to score seven bands overall in IELTS regardless of the field, such as accounting or others in Australia/New Zealand?

Yes, but it is higher than 7.0 for Australia. AITSL requires an overall Academic IELTS of 7.5, with 7.0 in Reading and Writing and 8.0 in Listening and Speaking. New Zealand's Teaching Council requires 7.0 across all four bands. Both apply the same threshold regardless of your subject, including accounting.
