The majority of the city-state's population needs to follow your religion, for it to become the dominate religion--self-explanatory. So if the city-state has a population of 13, your religion needs 7 followers. The amount of pressure that your religion is placing on the city-state represents the rate at which the population is being converted. If another religion is also applying pressure then depending entirely on which religion is applying more pressure you may never acquire the majority.

Pressure is like a percentage chance to convert a single citizen of a CS to your religion each turn. 0 pressure would mean you convert nobody, while 60 pressure might give you a 60% chance of converting a citizen or something like that. The religion exerting more pressure than all the others is most likely to convert somebody, so how much pressure you need is dependent on both the size of the CS and what the pressure from other religions is.

I am not sure if he is correct with it being a direct % but I have never seen it over 100 so it may be.
Also, 2 civs or more, each having an independent chance of over 50% to convert a citizen is not an issue. In probably independent events can add up to more than 100%.
Take for example the city state coups. I am sure multiple civs can have over a 50% chance of a successful coup.
I'm pretty sure pressure isn't a chance to convert. Pressure is another point total, much like border growth. Pressure accumulates every turn and a follower is converted once the accumulated points reach a certain threshold. I believe Missionaries and Great Prophet conversion strength is equivelent to 1k pressure per use.
