If UBI is truly universal will it create inflation? Would there be some upper bound where taxes > UBI on certain individuals?

There will surely be people who pay a lot more tax than they receive in UBI. The key thing is not to build an elaborate gameable system to decide who should be eligible for UBI and what it may be used for.
Depends. Are we printing the money? If so, how much?

If we print enough money, eventually we will get inflation...
