Answer 1

It sounds as if you've got quite impressive grades (I doubt they will care much about your GPA since in the UK, all they're interested in is the actual exam results of your final year at school) and your extra-curricular activities are diverse. I think you could increase your chances by both consulting a careers advisor for advice and to email the uni itself to see what they would suggest can help secure a place.

Answer 2

Well, it really depends on what you want to major in at London School of Economics, because some majors are more competitive than others in their acceptance rates. However, it seems that you stand a good chance of getting accepted.
