Slightly agree
Yes, but only with permission from the country in question
While Bush's administration did seek to build international coalitions in the fight against terrorism, it also asserted the right to act unilaterally if necessary.

This suggests that Bush might not see a Congressional declaration of war as necessary for the use of drones.
