Japanese term for homography such as that in 一行{いちぎょう}一行{いっこう}?


I was wondering if there was a word for such a situation, in which different
readings for the same word assume different meanings also.

Since the term 同音異義 exists for homophones, I was wondering if it was the case
for this phenomenon too.

Also, what would the term be for words that have multiple readings, but with
the same meaning this time?

you can say either 同形異義語 or 同綴異義語 for homograph. And if the words share the
pronunciation and the spelling, but only differ in meaning, then it would be
同形同音異義語.

Note that the quoted article discusses English homographs and homophones as
well, even though it also has a dedicated section to Japanese homographs.
