No.

There is no ability of the human body to develop any known tolerance to the lithium bases (Lithium Citrate, Lithium Carbonate, etc). The drug, in fact, operates so close to the toxic threshold that any such tolerance might quickly prove fatal.

A failure, over time, of lithium salts to treat a disorder has more to do with patient neuro-chemistry that favors an alternate drug (preferably an anti-convulsant such as Carbamazepine), or perhaps misdiagnosis, than anything else.

If a chlorine atom attracted an extra electron from lithium the lithium atom would become?

Yes. Any atom that loses or gains electrons become charged. Positively charged If the chlorine atom attracts an electron from a lithium atom, they both become charged ions. The chlorine atom becomes a -1 charged chlorine ion and the lithium atom becomes a +1 charged lithium ion. Further the two ions combine to make the compound Lithium Chloride.

What happens when a lithium ion reaches a cathode?

The lithium ion is reduced to an atom of metallic lithium. (If liquid water is in contact with the cathode, however, each lithium atom will react very rapidly with water and become a lithium ion again, releasing hydrogen to the atmosphere.)
