That one is really hard to say. I think you should be ok, but if the rod is totally gone then yes, there could be corrosion. You appear to have some strong sulfur water. If you had significant hydrogen sulfide gas, you had an unusual situation and would have experienced more effects than most places.
Sitting water vs. moving water - that depends on the properties of the water, but there is usually no reason to leave a tank full of water anyway, so it is a moot point. Draining unused tanks completely, and even using a compressor to blow the last water out or adding potable antifreeze (RV store) is highly recommended.
