First, there is the variation of gravity with latitude that you alluded to: you weigh about 0.5% more at the poles than on the equator. ... Second, gravity does indeed change with altitude. The gravitational force above the Earth's surface is proportional to 1/R2, where R is your distance from the center of the Earth.
