So, I watched The Higgs Field, explained - Don Lincoln and there it explains that particles are massless and it is only through their interaction with the Higg’s field that they gain mass. However, how are they “moving” through the Higg’s field? Is it through a movement in the 3rd dimension or a movement above?
And related, does the movement through the Higg’s field generate gravitons that affect particles they interact with by “pulling” them in the opposite direction of which they were traveling?

It’s a little more complicated than that, I would recommend the following videos to get a little more insight:
PBS Space Time for a good description: www.youtube.com/watch?v=G0Q4UAiKacw Veritasium also has a fine more simplified description: www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ztc6QPNUqls
In the end you would need to do the math to really get a deeper understanding of what’s going on. There’s a lot of handwaving and analogies in popular science explanations, that isn’t the full or real story, just a way to get the gist of things.
