No, if you do an airside transfer ar LHR, you'll clear immigration at GIB only. You'll only pass security at LHR.

#1 is yes, then I might have to find a different itinerary since the line/queue to cross the UK border is usually very long.
You'll have to clear immigration (pretty quick with European/EEA passporr as one can use the e-gates), collect your luggage, go to Terminal 3 departures and check in your luggage, then security.

No idea yet, but I have a plan to be somewhere on the rock to spot a later plane arriving from London 😉
