I did a lot of searching and can't get a clear answer: If a resource is beyond 3 tiles but within the 5 tile border, do we still get the resource benefit? Do I have to improve it? I know it can't be worked, but if I can get the resource, and I do improve it, do I get the gold too?

I ask because I have seen resources near each other that I can get only some of them, the others are just outside.

Thanks for your help!

Yes, you can't work it so you won't get any Gold/Production/Science/etc. out of a tile 4+ away from a city.

However, in the case of strategic resources (Horses, Iron, Coal, ...) and luxury resources (Sugar, Gold, Silk, ...), they will be added to your pool if you improve the tile.
