You can't unlock the bootloader on the Amazon Prime version and without an unlocked bootloader, you can't root. There may be work-arounds so check in the Moto G4 Plus section because it's more active and pretty much anything you can do to a G4+ works on the plain G4.

Yes, it is possible to install G4 plus roms in G4, without any problem. G4 / G4 plus has the same codename (athene).
