Yes as it will fail the mot test & your insurance company wont be happy either.

Four bolts and a new set of handbrake cables. Mind the Calipers must come with the axle, don't buy a drum axle and some rear calipers and ask them to change.

It will fit fine as long as you get the handbrake cables as well.
The cables are different lengths between drum brake & disc brake axles.
