No, you cannot use the e-Gate card in the AUH smartgates. The AUH smartgates do not require any card - they work off your passport (by scanning the MRP zone and not the RFID chip like DXB smartgate).
You can't use a passport registered to the DXB smartgates in the AUH smartgates.
You can if you are also registered to the AUH smartgate. It is not exclusive.
Some nationalities can't get an e-gate but only a smartgate.
Every nationality is eligible for e-Gate if they are resident in the UAE.
The DXB e-Gate also works for arrivals and departures in Sharjah and Ras Al Khaimah, as well as the cruise terminal (not sure if the cruise terminal machines are still active though - I have used the SHJ/RKT machines in the last few months however).
