After that Grant decided to start a regular siege, compelling the Confederate Commander, General Pemberton, to surrender the fortress on July 4, 1863.

How did events in Vicksburg place the confederate and union armies on the road to Gettysburg?
That did not happen. The widely-separated Union triumphs at Vicksburg (on the Mississippi) and Gettysburg (Pennsylvania) were announced on the same day, July 4th 1863, and led to Grant's relief of the Army of the Cumberland at Chattanooga, saving it from starvation and capture. Before long, he would be promoted General-in-Chief of the Union armies. It is possible that you meant to ask 'How did events on the road to Gettysburg impact on the Vicksburg campaign?' Lee did consider sending part of his army to Vicksburg, and postponing his invasion of Pennsylvania, but decided against it.
