Why can't you send great prophets to foreign civs? I've got my cities all loaded up on my religion and would like to spread it to other civs, but I think missionaries are the only unit capable of that. Why is this?
 
You can. Just walk them across the map. They can't pass through military units, so they are easily blocked (on purpose or accidentally).
 
That is just normal pathing. First, your GPs can't enter a foreign city -- all they can do is walk to an adjacent tile. Second, if that tile is already occupied (even if you can't tell it's occupied) you can't specify that as a destination. And, even if it were unoccupied on this turn, if it becomes occupied at any point prior to your GP arriving, your GP will stop and holler for guidance.
