Mostly, yes. The Gate anime does follow the novel to a large extent. The main storyline about the gate opening to a fantasy world and the military's actions in that world are similar. However, like many adaptations, there are some minor differences in pacing and character development. For example, some side stories or details in the novel might be condensed or omitted in the anime for the sake of fitting within the time constraints of the episodes. But overall, fans of the novel will find the anime to be a fairly faithful adaptation.

Steins; Gate 0 anime doesn't ruin the original visual novel. It continues the story in a meaningful way. The themes and ideas from the visual novel are carried over and developed further. It has its own narrative arc that, while different from the visual novel, still fits within the overall Steins; Gate universe and enriches it.
The sealed male and female Demon Gates were part of the plot of Demon's Mystery. The story was about two different demons, the male and female Demon Gates, who were caught in a bitter battle for different reasons. In the end, they decided to be sealed together to prevent them from posing a greater threat to the world. In the anime, the relationship between the male and female Demon Gates was quite special. They were lovers, but they were sealed together by other forces and could not be separated.
The Gate anime tries to cover the novels, but it's not a one-to-one match. Some elements might be emphasized or de-emphasized for better visual storytelling. However, fans have varying opinions on how well it does this.
In my opinion, it doesn't. The anime manages to bring the story of the visual novel to a wider audience. While some details might be lost in the adaptation process, it still conveys the main plot, the emotional depth of the characters, and the mind - boggling time - travel mechanics. It has its own charm and is a great entry point for those who might not have the time or inclination to read the visual novel.
