answer:

No, it won't overflow. That should be obvious since doing so would create a constant flow, constantly using energy, but without any energy input. Put another way, that would be a perpetual motion machine, one you could actually extract free power from.

The same force that pulls the water along the inside of the capillary tube also holds it there when it reaches the end. This force doesn't just pull upward, it pulls the water along the glass. At a certain height, the weight of the water column ballances this pull. In that case the pull is upward since there is water below but not above.

In your case, there is nothing to pull the water column higher when it reaches the end of the tube, so it just stays there. The pull only exists at the boundary between water and not-water. The bulk of the water in the tube isn't being pulled any particular way.
