The majority of Switch sales will now be coming from the lite which is a handheld console only. It's basically a 3DS with a couple of shared 3rd party games that PS4/XB1 has/had and now just look worse.
There is no direct competition between with them.

I don't know about that, maybe in the short term the lite will sell better but I think in the long run the normal model will probably sell better. Japan may be an exception to this.

Yeah, it really depends on what additional models are launched, whether the pricegap remains similair etc. If both systems stayed at $299/$199 respectively and there were no new models I think the Lite would take over 50% of sales from now until the end, too big a price difference. But there's many things that can happen over the next 4-5 years such as the price gap getting smaller or a "Switch XL/Pro" that could easily put the more expensive Switch back as the primary seller. Japan should be a lock-in for Lite dominance though.
