It'll definitely charge faster, if only because it's drawing less power to stay up and getting closer. The only question is, is it like 10% or 100% faster?

Drones consume something like 100W to stay in the air (ballpark, of course), so they'd probably never charge if they had to hover.

No, but if there were something convenient for them to grab and hang from, like a power transmission line…
