In testing for air leaks I noticed that I can feel some air getting sucked in around certain spots of the glass panes. The glass is still in good shape but I wasn't readily able to see what is supposed to seal it. Is it the rope gasket around the door or is there something else that should seal the glass?

The air wash is designed to keep a flow of air over the inside glass surface to reduce ash build up on it.
Where the door gasket seals to the stove frame should be essentially airtight, confirmed by doing the 'dollar bill test', where a bill or piece of paper moved around the gasket seal should have some resistance when pulled out.
