The theory of lattices in the sense of order theory. For the number-theoretic notion, use the tag "lattices" instead.

Lattice homomorphism from ${\cal Id}(L)$ onto $L$

Here's a counterexample. Let $L=\{0,1,x_0,x_1,x_2,\dots,y\}$, where $x_0<x_1<x_2<\dots$ and $y$ is incomparable with every $x_n$. Then the only non-principal ideal in $L$ is $I=\{0,x_0,x_1,\dots\}$; …

Cardinality of pairwise non-isomorphic complete lattices on an infinite cardinal $\kappa$

There is a trivial upper bound of $2^\kappa$. In fact, this bound can already be achieved for complete totally ordered sets. For instance, given any subset $A\subseteq\kappa+1$, let $L_A$ be obtaine …

Does ${\cal Id}(L) \cong {\cal Id}(K)$ imply $L\cong K$?

No; in fact, we can canonically recover $L$ from $\mathcal{Id}(L)$ as the sublattice of compact elements (that is, elements $x$ such that whenever $x=\bigvee S$, there is a finite subset $F\subseteq S …

Complete non-isomorphic lattices with injective complete homomorphisms between them?

For a simple example with complete total orders, take $L=\{0\}\cup[1,2]$ and $K=\{-1,0\}\cup[1,2]$.

Embedding finite lattices into the lattice of partitions of a finite set

Yes, this is apparently a fairly hard theorem of Pudlak and Tuma (or at least I assume it is hard, because it seems to have been an open problem for decades before they finally proved it in 1980).
