In a worst-case scenario during the I-829 stage, if the conditions are not removed, can I revert to my H-1B status without going through the lottery? What other options are available if things fall apart at the I-829 stage?

Immigration Attorneys DirectoryYes, you can go back to H-1B status if your conditional residence is terminated or withdrawn. You would need to get the approval and consular process for this. If counted within the last six years, then no need to go through the lottery again or if you have time left on the original six years.
