[Star Wars] If I'm planetside and I shoot a blaster pistol into the air, does the bolt leave orbit?

Or does it dissipate? Does it succumb to gravity and kill an unsuspecting Rodian a few clicks away?

Blasters have a limited range. They're magnetically contained charge plasma IIRC. Eventually the magnetic containment will fail and the bolt dissipates. Usually this happens well before a mile is travelled.
