The PM is usually the leader of the main party in government, but it doesn't have to be. There is no public democratic method of choosing a PM, so talk of not having a mandate is just not applicable. Thats the way it's always been and it would be exactly the same with proportional representation too

Yes that's how a PM gets officially Elected Like Johnson, did.
