Can I go straight from the Asics GT-2000 11 to the GT-2000 13 and skip the GT-2000 12?

Yes, but going GT-2000 11 to GT-2000 13 means taking one change in a single step: the GT-2000 12 is where the ride moved. Drop holds at 8 mm, so the difference is foam and fit rather than geometry: Full-length FF Blast with LiteTruss support to FF Blast+ foam with a rearfoot PureGEL pod.

How much did the weight change across these two updates?

0.4 oz off in total, 9.8 oz to 9.4 oz in a men's US 9. The GT-2000 12 took it to 9.4 oz first.

Is the GT-2000 12 the better buy than either of these?

On paper it splits them: 9.4 oz against 9.8 oz for the GT-2000 11 and 9.4 oz for the GT-2000 13, on a 36 mm heel and a $140 list price. Whether that is worth chasing depends on what the GT-2000 12 update actually did, which the section above works through.

Did the GT-2000 get taller between the GT-2000 11 and the GT-2000 13?

Heel stack went 23 mm to 36.5 mm, by way of 36 mm on the GT-2000 12. Drop held at 8 mm throughout, so the extra foam sits under both ends.

Where does the GT-2000 13 sit in the GT-2000 lineup now?

Two versions on from the GT-2000 11, and already replaced itself: the GT-2000 14 arrived in 2025. If you are shopping old stock anyway, price the GT-2000 13 against it before deciding.

THE SHORT ANSWER

Two updates and 2 years separate the Asics GT-2000 11 from the GT-2000 13. Net change: 0.4 oz lighter, 13.5 mm more heel stack, a new midsole. The GT-2000 12 is where the character changed, and that is the update GT-2000 11 owners notice first.

Or buy the GT-2000 12 instead?

The GT-2000 12 is worth a look only if you want the ride it introduced, because that is the update that changed the shoe. Buying it to soften the jump does not work: you would be adapting to the same change either way, just at an older spec.
