Since this is a soft bag and the dimensions are very close, this will be fine.
Lufthansa can be aggressive about enforcing the weight limit. 8 kg is not a whole lot and it's to exceed this. Your empty bag weighs already 2 kg. A few years ago they weighed pretty much anytime I flew with them but have recently eased up. They are more likely to weigh in Frankfurt than in Montreal (if you have a return flight)

Provided weight limits are followed, this is a perfectly ok bag to bring on board. Lufthansa is unlikely to enforce a 1cm over the limit issue.

This isn't a question we would be able to answer.
According to Lufthansa's baggage calculator page, you are allowed one personal, one carry-on and one checked.
Therefore, it is a toss up whether you will get an agent that is a stickler for being over by one centimeter, or not. However, if they do force you to check it, you will have exceeded your checked baggage allowance and have to pay for it.
