Despite "Y" booking class on the shorter segment, the rules will be those of the business class fare (most likely, inflexible).

I think the website will offer I-Y by default where I is not available on the short segment, but it is possible to call up and ask to price business class on both segments in the higher booking classes.

One question, will he be able to enter the lounge in MAD? As I already have a guest that is flying economy that I need to guest in.

Thanks
I believe, only if the connection is to/from a long-haul flight. In this your friend will only get access before the flight to LHR.
