For tapping screws, I thought I can just drill them in right away since the screws are very small and sharp at the end??

if the screw tip on the tapping screw has a bit you can, but if not, best you drill a hole the diameter of the shaft of your tapping screw.

dealers like using those tapping screws that has a bit on the tip.

looks like this. these you dont need to make holes.
