Yes, inhibit-startup-screen does not take effect if it is set in
site-start.el.

I can not reproduce this. Can you provide a simple reproducible test
case? I tried with a .emacs file containing only the line
(setq initial-buffer-choice t)
and dragging a file into the Emacs window (I don't know what you mean by
"dropping a file on the Emacs icon") opens that file, as expected.
However, this is on GNU/Linux. It's possible that there is a bug in the
Windows port; maybe someone else can check.
