I'm actually not as sure on this part. The ruling clearly says you can't use such evidence in a prosecution of the President; I'm not sure if it means such evidence can't be used in any other proceeding (though, of course, that's not foreclosed here).

Exactly, that's the grey area that will be colored based on who the president is and who the accused is.

The basis for the evidentiary bar is the chilling effect on presidential deliberations if the president knew his actions could be reexamined in court. That seems to sweep in all kinds of proceedings, and the court certainly thinks it applies to civil suits.
