This is more-or-less one of the two expected scenarios. The first runs out the clock. The second sees an election.
If we assume the second scenario plays out, then on the one hand, parliament has a Remain majority and can prevent the government from doing what it wants. On the other hand, the government wants to force an election, which it thinks it can win, in order to change the composition of parliament, and seeming unable to govern makes the case for the queen to call for one. She can decide the issue.
A hung parliament of this sort is impossible to manage. So an election seems justifiable.
But you are right in terms of the murk, as I don't know the rules well enough to know how we pass through the immediate situation.
In the running down the clock situation, can any legislation the House of Commons votes for pass through the House of Lords before prorogation sets in?
In the parliamentary control situation, can Remainers prevent an election?
It's a job for the lawyers. Since this was anticipated, I imagine they have considered how things will work from here. But a new parliament, if it has a Brexit majority, will doubtless unpick any new law that the old one writes.
