If water drips into an electrical outlet will the outlet still work?

Yes, but it may be unsafe to use until it dries out, and that can take weeks and it could short out if it is still wet when power is restored to it. The best thing to do is cut off the power to the room, remove the receptacle, and put caps on the ends of the wires. Then put the receptacle in the sun for a few days to dry it out, or dry it thoroughly with a hair dryer before re-installing it.

Is it safe to have an electrical outlet behind a shower wall next to the faucet valves where the water tank is also stored?
Sure, as long as it is not exposed to direct contact with water (the phrasing of your question is confusing). You should have a GFCI (Ground Fault Circuit Interupt) outlet in this wet location. Its purpose is to protect the user of an electrical appliance from electrocution. It is highly sensitive to moisture intrusion into the circuit, which causes it to trip.
