Can Opener of the Way use They Break Through to place the free Ghast from a Neutral Monster loyalty card at any gate, and does buying a Neutral Monster count as a Summon?

The designer confirms the placement rule, and posts agree that acquiring a monster is not an Action.

No to both. The free unit from the loyalty card is placed at one of your controlled gates, and acquiring a Neutral Monster is not a Summon Action, so Ice Age and They Break Through do not apply. Once summoned later, Opener can summon those Ghasts to any gate.
