To US law experts: does this letter carry any legal weight towards forcing FCC to act in favour of net-neutrality?

The letter carries no legal weight at all.
Binding? None whatsoever. If this goes to court (which it won't anytime soon), a judge who doesn't feel strongly one way or another but is a constitutional literalist might be vaguely influenced. And a judge who would already be inclined to rule in favor of net neutrality might cite it in a decision.
