What does 35% chocolate drops mean?

That 35% of the weight is cocoa components. In milk chocolate that means a balance between sweetness and cocoa.

Are drops better than blocks?

For melting, yes: the small size melts faster and more evenly and reduces the risk of scorching.

Do they need tempering?

Yes, if you want gloss and a clean snap on a coating. For mixing into a cream, melting is enough.
