To answer the second part of your question, the diode will have a fairly
large diode drop across it.  A typical HV rectifier for a modern TV set
is a pencil diode mounted on the flyback.  A pencil diode is a ceramic
tube with a long stack of little discs in it.  Each disk is an individual
diode.  I would guess that a typical modern multimeter would measure
resistence with a voltage below the diode drop of your HV
rectifier, so you would get high resistence in both directions.
