Yes, Gas does have a gravity. Gravity affects anything and everything that has a mass. But as the gravitational force is directly proportional to the mass, and since gases have a very very low mass, The force exists but is very low.

If gases were not affected by gravity, the atmosphere would not exist!

Yes, gases just like all other materials have density. This is why a balloon filled with helium will rise to the ceiling. It floats because all of the air around it is denser than the helium in the balloon. If you let the helium balloon go outside, it will rise to an altitude that is equal in density as the helium.

Gravity is constant. It does not change based on the element, only the relative distance from the a specific body can reduce the effect of gravity (moving away from the earth lessens its gravitational pull on an object).

Is the force of gravity or E and M subject to relativity?

Yes. Everything is subject to relativity. We know that electormagnetism (EM) is subject to relativity because we see light from distant stars and galaxies bent by the gravity of intervening objects (see http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gravitational_lens). Gravity is subject to relativity because it is an essential element of General Relativity. GR says that gravity is the curvature of spacetime.
