Any thoughts on what LN nodes might charge?
It will probably vary a lot. Sometimes you'll see negative fees across some channels. Other nodes who will want to keep channel capacity for themselves will set high fees to discourage routing through them in a particular direction.
0.01% of tx value (per node hop) too low?
Hard to say. It will probably be higher on average, but that's just my guess.
If the costs of the service are independent of amounts transacted, would 0.0001 USD per tx be too low?
Costs are actually dependent on amount transacted. The scarce resource in LN is routing capacity (aka liquidity) which gets affected proportionately to the amount being routed.
would a combination of fixed fee + % be appropriate?
That's what current lighting protocol has right now - a flat fee plus a percentage fee.
