The Conservatives have the support of the DUP from N. Ireland. That gives the government a majority of three in the Commons. But the Tories are so divided on Brexit that as much as I like Johnson, I think he is a placeholder. Parliament is so divided it could not agree to take a bathroom break much less approve a Brexit plan. The Johnson government will fall and there will be a general election. My guess is sometime in the Fall.

Yes. It has outside support from the DUP which gives it 3 past the half-way mark.

If Corbyn calls for a vote of no-confidence, well anything could happen -- some Tories could vote for it, but I doubt they would want to face a GE. At worst they may not vote. And as for Labourites - many may also fear a GE and not vote with the party line. Too many possibilities
