Could some one please give me the voltage and current
rating of this device? Also, can an HV diode be tested
with a multimeter in the same fashion as a low voltage one?
thanks in advance!

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.
