Friction anti-sway device use in rain or wet roads
So; when trailering in the rain while using the friction anti-sway device, should I loosen or tighten this thing?

In a word...no, it shouldn't be required to safely tow. I almost never see professional TT movers with sway control.
What a friction bar does is dampen movement. They do make the ride more comfortable. I run two on my trailer and it makes everything feel rock solid.
As you are passed and as the wind blows against the trailer there is some independent "wiggle" between the truck and trailer. The sway bars take this wiggle out and make the rig feel like one.
On my F150 the benefits of the sway bars were much more pronounced than they were when I upgraded to a dually. I still ran the sway bars but the rig was solid without them.
Run them, they help make the ride more comfy.
Thanks!
