I'd like to have Apache 2 listen on both loopback (127.0.0.1) and eth0
(x.x.x.x). If a user connects to loopback, he gets the site. If he
connects to eth0, he is required to enter a password first. How can I
do this?

(PS Also, how could I make the site on eth0 different?)

See apache docs for 'Order', 'require' (and related links), and 'Satisfy'.
Then you can use allow to only allow from 127., server authemtication, and
Satisfy any to do whichever is satisfied (the allow or the password).
