According to my edition of the play, Juliet does not say lines 137-138. Clearly your edition must have different line numbers. Juliet's lines which surround it, and especially those which follow, deal with the themes of love and death, and love and family strife found in the Prologue. But they do not really echo it in the sense of using similar or the same phrases.
All of the prologue, taken as a whole, is a sonnet. A sonnet is a fourteen-line poem with a certain structure. The Prologue is fourteen lines long and has that structure.
No, it is in strict Iambic Pentametor.
A prologue, or prolog, is an opening to a story that establishes the setting and gives background details, often some earlier story that ties into the main one, and other miscellaneous information. Prologue is not a poem.
He occasionally borrowed in altered form plots and even lines of verse.

This is also true of the prologue of Romeo and Juliet.
In Act V, Scene 3, Juliet's lines echo the sentiment from the prologue by emphasizing fate and the idea that Romeo and Juliet's tragic love was predetermined. She refers to their love as "death-marked" and states that they were "star-crossed lovers," reinforcing the theme of destiny and the inevitability of their tragic end.
Lines 5 - 8 of the Prologue: 5 From forth the fatal loins of these two foes 6 A pair of star-cross'd lovers take their life; 7 Whose misadventured piteous overthrows 8 Do with their death bury their parents' strife.

It all depends on the length of the prologue and the regularity of the metre. The prologue to Romeo and Juliet is fourteen lines long, and each line contains approximately five iambs, making a total of seventy in the whole prologue. That's more or less, since lines like "From ancient grudge break to new mutiny", it can be argued, contain only four iambs and one trochee. Romeo and Juliet is not the only one of Shakespeare's plays which has a prologue, however. Henry V has a particularly famous one which is 34 lines long, which would contain one hundred and seventy iambs if it were regular. (It isn't though. The first line "O for a muse of fire that would ascend" contains only 4 iambs and starts with a trochee) The Prologue to Henry IV Part II has 40 lines (200 iambs more or less) and the Prologue to Pericles has 42 lines of iambic tetrameter with 4 iambs to the regular line, a total of 168, more or less.
