Does a UK Citizen who overstayed on a tourist visa eligible for a green card?

Since you are no longer considered an immediate relative of your U.S. citizen parent, you cannot apply for adjustment of status unless you remain in valid immigration status. Instead, you will be required to return to the U.K. for your immigrant visa interview at the U.S. consulate, which will subject you to the 10-year bar because you have accumulated more than 1 year of unlawful presence in the U.S. However, you are eligible for adjustment of status if you have a U.S. citizen spouse or child over the age 20 who can petition for you.

You should file a motion with proof that you responded timely. There is no appeal from the denial of an I-485, but if your case is referred to immigration court, you can file the case there without additional fees.

Do I need to contact the immigrations about the divorce, since my permanent resident card is based on the marriage?

Your conditional green card expired two years after your marriage. You and your then-husband applied for and received the removal of conditions from your green card. Then something happened and you separated and later divorced. Regardless of your divorce though, you now have a valid 10-year green card and the USCIS no longer cares about whether you are married or not. You are free to move on with your life and your 2-week trip is not a problem. But since you are divorced, you will have to wait five years (from the date your first green card was issued) instead of three years, to apply for US citizenship if you wish. All in all, I see no problems or issues with your current situation.
