I see you have the GWA-4080N listed as a compatible model for the UJ-857, UJ-867 and GWA-S10N for the A1211 Macbook pro 15". Yet the UJ-857 is also correct for the A1181 Macbook 13". I want to know if the GWA-4080N can also be used in the A1181 13" Macbook?

Is this a good question?

Yes, it can. As a rule of thumb, whatever works on a Macbook Pro 15'', works just fine on a Macbook A1181.
Elsewhere (I won't give the link to a commercial competitor of iFixit) the unit you mentioned is flagged as mutually compatible with GWA-4080N, GWA-4080MA, GWA-4080 4080M 4080MB, UJ-857, UJ-867 GSA-S10N, GSA-S10NA, UJ-857-C, 678-0525A, 678-0543A, CW-8221, CW-8221A, CW-8221-C and Super 857CA 678-0542E (Replaces UJ-857-C 678-0525A 678-0543A CW-8221 CW-8221A CW-8221-C HL-Data GWA-4080M GWA-4080MA, UJ-867).
Well, I've heard Macbook original superdrive tend to fail. Mine is working peachy with really minor hiccups since ages, but I'll keep my eyes peeled for one of those.
Was this answer helpful?
I received the 4080N today and it has a door on it with a button that Lu would hit on a pc to open to door, This obviously has to be removed to use on Mac. Any idea how this face plate door is removed?
Well, it seems isn't a slot-in loader, and iFixit clearly states you need a slot-in equivalent to the UJ-857 you mentioned. Thus, if the seller gave you a model that's not slot loaded, you've the right to ask him to send the unit back.
