You don't need particularly large lights for product, though it you do any high frame rate shots you'll need more power. More smaller lights is better -- more options for painting the subjects with light is always better. Use what works for each.
Lens wise look for one that doesn't breath, so not the Sigma ART lenses unless they have a newer version around (great image quality, but they breath quite a bit, so not ideal for film work).
A lot of gimbals these days have built in focus controllers that can drive small motors that are powerful enough for small cine lenses. Primes are probably your best bet for size + cost, and they'd be easier to use on a slider or gimbal due to the smaller size (and weight).
