Let someone use my grill when I went out of town to cook a butt. I have done it before so I’m not sure what cause it beside leaving the fat and juice caked on the grates for too long. Going to clean it now and thought of using the vinegar and baking soda tactic to get it off. Do I just reseason it with oil after?

You’re overthinking this. Get it hot, brush it, spray it with oil and cook.
There’s no need to remove the rust with special cleaner.
Burn baby burn
Just cook on it. You don’t need to clean it. The rust is harmless, and it will give you some extra iron. No worries.
If you’re really bothered, see if there’s a machine shop or fabricator willing to media blast it, and then re season it.
But it looks fine to me. Brush it and season it.
Season it like cast iron
Just wire brush, apply cooking oil, then hot to season, … step repeat once or twice.
Clean then cook. Afterwards, clean then oil while it’s still hot.
