They will not be elected if they don't.
Yes, it's very unusual to vote against the party on cloture, they will do so only because they will lose their seat if they don't.

Sure, nominees who are not obviously pro-life or otherwise popularly rejectable, can no longer practically be filibustered.
We do indeed have the votes to break the filibusters, and the first line of action you'll see will be to work off the stalled circuit court nominations.
The RATS no longer have the votes.
