As far as dashing back and landing overweight -

I can't comment on the 787 checklist BanditGirl provided but FWIW on another Boeing ETOPS twin the checklist is worded similarly and you wouldn't be expected to land overweight simply for a straight forward engine failure. Given no further complications you'd head off to dump fuel in a suitable area near the airport, then return and land.
