Doppler Gravity: Does it Exist? Why or Why Not?

In summary: Momentum?Yes, because the change in momentum is the same for both observers.In summary, an observer will experience a stronger gravitational force from an approaching object than from a receding one.

So light will blue shift (higher energy) and sound is louder and at a higher pitch.
So does that mean that you have or have not read up on gravitational redshift?

That's a different topic.

the total change in momentum applied to the observer from the gravitational force
Umm, in general relativity there is no gravitational force, and the four momentum of an object in free fall does not change. The only way to get any of these quantities is to introduce a coordinate system and then you can look at the three momentum and the Christoffel symbols. That will be the closest you can get, but to do that you will have to specify the coordinates fully.
