Pokerstove and Slice are free and let you analyze range vs. range allin equities. As far as I know, the only commercially available gto range creating software is
GTO Range Builder.
Card Runners EV calculates maximally exploitative strategies (not necessarily GTO).

Would you also say this knowledge is applicable to omaha?
In a sense, yes. All the GTO concepts in the book (and there are many) are applicable to Omaha (if they are inferred correctly) because the betting structure of NLHE and Omaha are the same (except that Omaha is often pot limit). The only major difference is, obviously, hand ranges, and thus equity distributions. Overall, however, I would say that the knowledge would be extremely valuable in any poker variant; you just have to extrapolate correctly.

Will i be able to create gto ranges after going through this book?
Yes. I assume you don't mean
exact GTO ranges (which will usually require the assistance of a computer due to the complexity of most poker situations). But the book does an excellent job of training your intuition for understanding and creating GTO ranges on the go (i.e. as you play).

How am i going to create ranges in multiway pots and what do i have to adopt in 6max or full ring games?
This book only addresses heads up situations, and for good reason – GTO strategies in multiway situations do not have the same guarantees of GTO strategies in heads up situations. Heads up, a GTO strategy is unbeatable (guarantees a minimum EV) regardless of the opponent's strategy. Multiway, however, a GTO strategy only maintains that guarantee as long as all other players also play the corresponding GTO strategy. If somebody deviates, it is guaranteed that their EV will decrease, but their deviation may also cause your EV to decrease, even though you are still playing the GTO strategy. So GTO is a much less useful (and much less developed and researched due to its complexity) concept multiway.
That said, when a heads up situation arises in 6max or full ring games, all heads up GTO concepts become applicable, so the content of this book is also very useful for non-heads up formats.

Also which books would you advise beyond obviously vol1 and this book.
The Mathematics of Poker is the classic.
It's not out yet, but I'm confident
GTO or GTFO will be pretty awesome. Check out the
author's blog, where you'll find lots of free content explaining GTO concepts very clearly and accurately.
