Could this also change rules for conviction after impeachment? House needs simple majority, Senate needs 2/3.

No. The language for impeachment, trial and conviction is hard-coded in the Constitution.

The Constitution prescribes the two-thirds Senate rule for removal after impeachment. It takes an Amendment to change that.
