Answer

"amanat gereftan" is almost the same with "gharz gereftan". But "amanat gereftan" uses for things, and not for the money. For example " man yek ketab az ketabkhaaneh amanat gereftam". 
And "gharz gereftan" almost uses for the money (but also sometimes for the things).
So you should use "gharz gereftam" in this sentece ":i borrowed 100 dollars from friend" = " man 100 dollar az doostam gharz gereftam. "
 hope it helps you

Answer

"Amanat" as a noun is something that someone gives to you in the hope that you will return it exactly as it was when asked for, not a replacement by its likes. So it's not usually used for consumable stuff like money. 
Ex: 
وقتی داشتم میرفتم خارج، ماشینم رو امانت دادم به دوستم. 
When I was going abroad I lent my car to my friend.
