Will the name of the venue follow tradition and revert to "His Majesty's Theatre," or might it keep the feminine pronoun as a tribute to Elizabeth? Any thoughts?

There is a plan in place, the owners are duty bound to rename to the current monarch, so yes, it’ll become His Majesty’s Theatre in due course.

I did wonder this earlier. That's a shame if it does revert back. Think it'll take a long time to get used to lots of little things like this changing!

I wonder if LW Theatres has the His Majesty's signages in or if they'll have to commission new ones?

I'm always happy to be corrected, but I believe the freehold for His Majesty's Theatre is owned, nominally at least, by King Charles, via the Crown Estate.
Same with the Theatre Royal Haymarket, though in that case the remaining lease is for a shorter period of something like 60 years.

This has happened throughout the history of this venue.
