No, these would not be typical symptoms of gastritis
The simple answer is yes. Gastritis of severe enough can produce bleeding which causes anemia and fatigue. Ulcerations conform if the gastritis proceeds. This produces overstimulation of the Vegas nerve and lightheadedness.
Not a common presentation of gastritis. A bleeding gastric ulcer with gastritis is more likely to cause these symptoms
Gastritis, which is a general term for inflammation of the stomach lining, in and of itself, should NOT cause fatigue and dizziness. That said, one of the more common causes of gastritis is a bacteria called Helicobacter pylori (H. pylori). Infection with this bacteria can potentially cause non-gastrointestinal symptoms such as joint pains and fatigue (less likely dizziness). One other thing; if you have an ulcer in the stomach and are losing blood from it, that can cause fatigue and dizziness, by making you anemia.
