If someone got the gauntlet, and used it to "undo everything it has done so far", the ash-deaths would be reversed, but Gamora's wouldn't, as she was killed physically, not magically. There's also the fact the ash deaths were more of a cliffhanger than a plotpoint, as we're wondering if/how they will be resolved for the next movie(s). Gamora's death was something to move the plot of this movie along.

I dunno, they never actually confirm her death though, and the point was that he had to make a sacrifice... so the theory Dezzy posted (that she actually is / or is inside the soul stone) makes a lot of sense really. Someone has to die in order for anyone to take the soul stone... and it's the SOUL stone... so perhaps, it's actually created for the person seeking it by using that person's soul. Which would then in theory mean that if the soul stone is destroyed, Gamora could reappear in its place .

I have a horrible feeling they might undo ALL of the deaths in Infinity War. But probably in the first half of Avengers 4 - with some real deaths coming in the "real" final confrontations.

Also something else I noticed; basically all of the guardians who COULD fade, did fade? Not actually 50/50. The survivors were Rocket and Nebula but both would technically be immune... since Thanos' goal was to wipe out 50% of "human or humanoid" life. Rocket is technically a Raccoon / an animal, just an enhanced one... and as we saw earlier in the film, Nebula is so augmented that she's basically a machine rather than a humanoid.
