Hitler admired the British and considered the Empire an important factor in world civilization.
There are some who feel he allowed to the BEF to escape from Dunkirk. German panzer forces were only a few miles away, stopped by orders, days before the British reached the sea. Without access to a port, the BEF would've had to surrender or face annihilation. The argument is that Hitler thought the British would be more amenable to a deal if the repeat were not too severe.
Based on that, I would guess that Hitler would've more generous than he was with the French.
Don't count on it. The Germans considered the Dutch to be their little Aryan brothers. When the Dutch shattered that delusion by engaging in mass protests against the occupation and Jewish deportations, Hitler reputedly planned to deport the entire Dutch population to Eastern Europe. Of course, he had to be told that was logistically impossible at the time. Afterwards the Germans were considerably harsher against the Dutch. It demonstrates that their initial opinion isn't particularly relevant. I very much doubt Hitler and his ilk would be particularly kind to the British population, especially given that like us, they wouldn't just lower their heads and play nice with the occupiers.
I think that if the UK were to have fallen, then Germany would've eventually won the war. At the very least it would've resulted in a cold war between the third reich and the remnants of the allies. This would enable the post war reich to try and implement the means for mass migration plans for the uncooperative occupied populations in ways similar to the original Madagascar plan for the Jews.
