Two questions:
- Is this likely to happen again before too long? If so, what needs to be done?
- Will the overheating of the brake assembly have done any harm?
Any advice will be gratefully received.

No. (Probably no harm, but these days new fresh brake discs are very reasonably priced.)
The front brake calipers use two slidey bolts top and bottom which are
ten times more likely to seize up than the piston.
It is very easy to remove them, clean them and clean the inside of their slidey hole (ooer missus!) then reapply new grease and Bob's yer uncle.
You don't even have to remove the caliper!!
Ask me how I know ;|
