How much of the ball needs to be hitting the stumps for a not out LBW to be overturned?

50 per cent
In LBW decisions, as per the existing rule, at least 50 per cent of the ball has to hit any part of a stump. If it is less than 50 per cent, then a batsman will survive on umpire’s call if the on-field decision is not out.

Can a batter be out lbw if the ball doesn’t hit his leg?

A batter can be out lbw even if the ball did not hit his/her leg: for example, a batter struck on the head could be lbw, although this situation is extremely rare.
