If the servo motor can't turn the whole 90 degrees, will it break if i force and hold it in say.. 45 degrees instead?

The servo will just stall.   There are videos on YouTube demonstrating the servo's characteristics

It won't break it but another solution, if you have room for it, is to gear it down 2:1

So it's adviced to gear it down properly if possible.. I think i'll use effermans lever solution to get the excess slack of the 90 degree turn.

If you use BuWizz or SBrick for control you can limit the angle with the application

I checked it is not available in the BuWizz app yet (or at least I did not find it), but you can use BrickController 2 and limit the motor output % with BuWizz as well.
