I'm not sure if I'm missing something here, but is the answer not c, the speed of light, 186000mph? A photon is a particle of light, but as it has no mass it can travel at the speed of light.
As for the second part, yes it can be influenced by gravity. As an example, gravitational lensing (the bending of light) around galaxies, making objects behind appear distorted into a ring around the lensing object
