If the mass of the star were doubledwhat effect would this have on the gravitional attraction between the star and planet?

It would make the gravity of the star have more power.As for your question, it all depends.If the planet was bigger than the star, the star would be pulled in gravatationally(if that's even a word).If the star were bigger than the planet, the planet would be pulled in.
