You can repair torn drywall by patching the tear. You will need to remove any plaster and wallpaper below the damaged area. Next, cover the area with several layers of cement board or Gypsum board.

Why is the plaster on a gunite pool gray in the middle and white on the gunite side and white on the outside?
The finish plaster is normally white all the way through. It sounds like you are dealing with a pool that has been replastered by the method of putting a "brown coat"/"scratch coat" (the gray plaster you noted) over the original finish plaster surface, and a new finish coat of white plaster on top of that. The scratch coat more like a thin concrete than plaster (doesn't have the white marble dust in it) and is used to get a better bond to the old surface.
You recently bought a camaro that has been primered Will you need to strip off the old primer and start over Or can you apply correct primer over the old and then paint car?
Primer is a base coat that can accept all types of paint so no stripping is necessary and you can definitely primer over primer but remember to fill and sand before to eliminate blemishes and maintain a smooth finish.
