Let me try it differently,
If you use gateway option then it means that you are trying to controle the
sources of routing updates. If you use prefix list (with gateway) with
permit option along with interface, it means you want routes ONLY from that
source on that interface and routes from other sources on that interface
will be filtered out.

For example R1 has two neigbors R2 & R3 on FastEthernet 0/0 interface. R1
has IP address of 172.16.0.1/24, R2 172.16.0.2/24 and R3 172.16.0.3/24

 and you configure following on R1

router eigrp 1
 distribute-list gateway neighbor-R2 in FastEthernet 0/0
!
ip prefix-list neighbor-R2 seq 5 permit 172.16.0.2/32 <http://172.16.0.1/32>

It means routes from 172.16.0.2 is permitted but any routes from
172.16.0.3will be denied.

If you change your prefix list to following,
ip prefix-list neighbor-R2 seq 5 permit 172.16.0.3/32 <http://172.16.0.1/32>,

you will receive routes from ONLY from 172.16.0.3 and routes from
172.16.0.2will be denied.

Second question of distribute-list in, is for the whole routing table, means
you want your router to put routes in the main routing table which are
specifically permitted by the ACL.
