Does electricity flowing through a transmission line create any measurable pull on the lines?

Please correct me if I’m wrong, but electricity wants to return to the earth, so does that have any “pull,” so to speak, that can be measured?

Not in the way you're imagining. Current flowing in a conductor creates a magnetic field. That field can be repelled or attracted to the Earth's magnetic field. The Earth's field is usually stronger. That will cause extremely small forces on the wires.
