Q1) Short answer: No. Longer answer: Boris sold a phony bill of goods to the public, and now he has to deliver. He can't back down and say he was wrong, that's not his style, so this was the only play, from his perspective.

Q2) Yes. The Supreme Court is supposed to act as part of a system of checks and balances. This is the role of any properly setup supreme court, in any country. It's a safeguard for democratic societies.

Q3) Yes. They're doing what the public elected them to do.

It did, but that’s what I mean by the phony bill of goods.

@Nyloncapes Yes but a legal way, Boris could have done a new term for Parliment and for new Queen speech by closing Parliment for a week not five weeks. Also as they are now sitting again there is nothing from stopping the bills Boris wants to bring in to be done now.
