I want to buy Fallout 3 for my Xbox One using a 15 dollar giftcard I recently received. I have already put the money in my account and I was wondering if I could use it to buy the game, as it is a 360 game, but is compatible with the One. Thanks!

This wireless receiver product description on amazon specifies that you can use up to 4 wireless controllers with one single receiver.
To pair multiple controllers to the same receiver, simply follow these instructions for each separate controller.
To summarize the instructions:
- Plug in the gaming receiver to a USB port on your computer
- Use the "Install Automatically" option if the Add New Hardware wizard pops up
- Download the XBOX wireless controller software from here and install
- Once installed, turn on the controller by pressing the middle 'X' button
- Press the connect button on the receiver (the light flashes green)
- Press the connect button on the wireless controller (pictured below).
Your Xbox wireless controller should now be connected to your machine. Repeat steps 4-6 for each additional controller.
The Xbox One can't play Xbox 360 games at all due to using a different system architecture.
Both Microsoft and Sony made conscious decisions to not try to support the previous generation via emulation this time around.
Edit: Electronic Arts has a service named EA Access that can be used to play certain EA titles on the Xbox One including some older titles. It requires a monthly subscription fee, though.
Edit 2: This answer is very out of date. See TZHX's answer for the current state of things.

Best Answer
Most certainly.
Prepaid cards for Microsoft funds transfer into your accounts funds, which are usable across all store platforms.
You should be able to use the funds from your Xbox 360, Xbox One, or any platform (computer, tablet or phone) running Windows 8 or 10, provided you are accessing the store from the same Microsoft account.
