Will torepode hit target?

In both cases, it depends. IDing the target incorrectly will give you the wrong mast height, which will result in incorrect range measurements with the stadimeter. So both questions are similar.
If the target is motionless, or moving directly towards or away from you, errors in range won't matter. The faster the target is moving (and the closer it is to 90 degress AOB), the more likely range errors will cause you to miss. Also, if the target is close to you, the effect of errors in measurement is less; for distant targets the effect is greater.
In general, being off by 100 yards isn't much, so you will probably still hit in most cases. The measurements you make with the stadimeter are certainly not exactly accurate, they are just pretty close. For most close range shots (1000 yards or less), an error of 100 yards either way won't make a difference.
