If you right click an open file in its edit history you cannot get the history of just that file. You instead get the history of the entire project. Instead, you need to open project explorer, click down to where the file is, and then do a Team>History from there.

If you open the history view for a git project the history being shown depends on the current selection and the
status of the toggle buttons in the history view. Without selecting a file (in an explorer view or by selecting an
editor) EGit doesn't know which file you would like to see the history for.

If you select a file from a commit shown in the history view you can click "Show In > History View". This will set
the selection to the selected file, though it doesn't change the filter toggle in the history view from
"Show all changes in repository" to "Show all changes of selected resource and its children".
I don't exactly understand what you would like to change here ?

Do you want the history view to automatically switch the filter toggle to focus on the history of the file which
was selected in the history view's bottom right pane when "Show In > History View" was clicked ?
