I don’t think Lords can overrule Commons.

Does it have to pass the House of Lords as well? Technically, yes, but it will. The Lords can't block legislation but they can delay it by up to a year. They won't.

Yes, although after the various constitutional reforms of the previous century there are limits to how far the Lords can go in obstruction. Basically they can act as a speed bump, but they are not going to stop this. Of course if the hereditary peerage still had their seats there would be no question at all of it passing.
