The single quotes are a problem too. Bash doesn't do any variable
expansion in single quotes. ($TITLE will still be $TITLE for sed)
Instead:
sed "s/Title/$TITLE/g" title.html >> file.txt &&
Also, I'm not sure why you have double & at the end of the line. I
think you want to run sed in the foreground, not the background. I
don't understand what the second & does.

You only need the g if the text to replace occurs more than once on a
line. If it doesn't, it doesn't matter. If it does, do you want to
replace all occurences or just the first?

BTW, I don't use bash scripting for anything other than running
programs with some default options. I would prefer to use python for
this sort of thing, but it's up to you what you want to use.
