1. Their desperate question to Father and to each other is, "Where is the Gate of Eden, really?"

2. Their desperate question for Father and for each other is, "Where is the Gate of Eden, really?"

Both sentences are fine as amended. They are essentially synonymous in intent, though to me the first suggests a sooner asking.
