Do you get runes back from Gostoc?

FYI if you want to hold off on killing Gostoc to get your runes back, it absolutely must be before you beat Godrick. If you beat Godrick, Gostoc will no longer drop them. That said you only ever get back what you lost from his death tax.

Is it worth killing Gostoc?

Killing Gostoc will not lock you out of Nepheli Loux and Kenneth Haight's quest as it can still be completed without him, but you will miss out on the Ancient Dragon Smithing Stone and won't be able to buy it from the Twin Maiden Husks even if you gave them his bell bearing.

Gostoc is the NPC who offers to open the main gate of Stormveil Castle for you, and then moves through the castle with you until you defeat Godrick, at which point he'll stay at the Godrick the Grafted site of grace venting his frustrations. Kill him (at any point) to collect his bell bearing.

Do you lose runes after invading?

Yes. Should be on ground in your world somewhere near where you died. You lose runes, won't lose rune arc and you'll respawn pretty much in the same spot you died and left your runes, so no worries.

Does killing Gostoc do anything?

If you decide to kill him before defeating Godrick the Grafted, you'll retreive all of the runes he stole from you (if you waited until after you killed Grodrick, sorry you're out of luck). It's best to kill him as soon as you can, he'll drop his bell bearing and you give it to the merchant at Roundtable Hold.
