I was 1 mark off an A* for economics and have sent it to be remarked, do you reckon I'm guaranteed that grade up?

You might get 1 extra mark. You might not. Nothing is guaranteed, unfortunately.

By the way, you paper won't be remarked. A different examiner, normally a senior examiner will carry out a review of the original marking. If they find a mark which isn't in accordance with the mark scheme, they'll change it (up or down). If something is subjective and the original mark for that question could be justified (even though the second examiner would have given it a different mark themselves), then the original mark for that question will stand.
