It only takes one Senator and one Representative to challenge the electors and block the count.

It takes one Senator and one Representative to issue the challenge. It'd take a majority in both houses to uphold it.

True. After a two hour debate, both Houses would be required to vote. Note: It only takes a majority of the members present, which is not necessarily the whole bodies.
