Pithing needle doesnt say that the cards abilities can be activated after pithing needle leaves play so I dont know the exact ruling on that.

that is correct.  if there is no card/token in play affecting a card, then  it wont be affected.  much like playing an enchantment that gives all your creatures haste wouldnt keep giving your creatures haste when it left play.

however, transmuting the needle allows you to be more flexible in your lockdowns.

Do Bribery counters do anything after Gwafa Hazid dies?

No, because Gwafa Hazid is what prevents the creatures from attacking/blocking.  Not the counters themselves.
