So does electricity need a closed path to flow or not?
where does the current go in lightning after the ground? does it go back to the clouds? or it stays in the ground? same with electrostatic discharge
also say single phase to ground fault, lets say a tree shorted a line to ground, does the current flow back to the generator? is the generator "grounded" in a literal sense, that is it's connected to earth?
or maybe a closed path isn't required and only a potential deference, or a gradient so to speak?

Static electricity does not need a closed path. Other kind sof electricity needs a closed path.

Electricity needs a path between a separation of charges. Typically that separation of charges is a battery in a circuit. In the case of lightning, the separation is between the clouds and the ground. Completing the circuit allows charges to flow from negative to positive separation, or in the case of lightning high enough voltage for air to be considered connected and flows through the air from bottom of the cloud to the ground
