Does gravity act on lightning attracted to a rod?

no, since lightning can go horizontal or even up as well

Does gravity deal with attraction or repulsion toward a point, or general direction of travel?

ionized air is affected by gravity, yes

How is gravity altered that the ionized air is attracted to the rod?

photons have virtual mass, so they interact with gravity, but they're still pretty light

is the added mass/virtual mass a result of photons being exchanged through the ionized air?

it's from the frequency of the vibration of the photon, virtual mass = frequency
