Would be interested to know if this new class of particle is affected by the Higgs Field? Very interesting post, thanks.

Yes it is.
The interactions of the sterile neutrinos with the Higgs boson contribute to their mixing and their mass. However, in most neutrino mass models (there is no neutrino mass in the Standard Model and they are needed by virtue of neutrino data), the Higgs sector has to be more complicated. In particular, several Higgs bosons are in order.
