what are the consequences if a majority of parliament joins in on the no confidence bid?
just theoretically, could corbyn directly be elected PM if he had the votes?

I think it goes to a general election.
This is not correct. Corbyn has called for a vote of no confidence in Theresa May; it would only go to a general election if there was a vote of no confidence in the government.
If the vote against Theresa May is successful, it paves the way for a new Tory PM, but it carries far less legal weight and could be interpreted as quite meaningless. Still, it sets the wheels in motion and will hopefully lead to a vote of no confidence in the government if they continue to delay voting on the brexit deal.
