As a layperson, I always wondered this about gravity. Does it attract over infinite distance or does it have a range?
So thinking of gravity as a Newtonian "attraction over infinite distance" doesn't really work in GR, but neither does thinking of it as a "force" with a finite range. It works differently from either of those.
This is not correct. The effects of inflation on spacetime geometry are a form of "gravity" as far as GR is concerned. They're just not a form of "gravity" that you could ever get out of the Newtonian approximation.
At some range, any field will decrease to below thermal noise of medium.
