Does ActivityPub send those to other instances, or does ActivityPub only send the original post and the rest (upvotes, downvotes, replies) are stored only on the original server where the post was made?

Votes federate with standard Like and Dislike activities which are part of Activitypub. It’s just that some platforms like Mastodon can’t handle Dislikes.

Can’t handle by choice I’d guess. Given the format of individuals following individuals rather than topics in communities it doesn’t make much sense for a person to follow someone only to downvote/dislike their comments.
