The assembly has nothing to do with heaven or hell. It about being able to worship at their version of church service.
I don't think so, and your source is not the original Hebrew, nor does it reflect the context. From both the Hebrew and the context, I think it refers to conversions, to "joining the congregation of Jehovah" by conversion. So, Ammonites and Moabites are excluded, but the children of Edomites and Egyptians are OK after the third generation -- and a good thing, since wasn't Herod an Edomite? Or maybe he just had an editor insert Edomites in the text. One would not expect to have an Ammonite drop in to the synagogue for Yom Kippur, anyway.
