Both a hurricane and a tornado have centers of intense low pressure.
Definitely a tornado. A hurricane produces a large pressure drop over a distance of hundreds of miles. A tornado produces a similar, possibly larger pressure drop over only a few hundred feet.
A tornado, most likely. However, few pressure readings have ever been taken from tornadoes.
When a Hurricane, Tornado or Thunderstorm, approaches, the barometric pressure falls but I would not ascribe the adjective "drastic" to this.
No. While they are both spinning storms, tornadoes, unlike hurricanes, can and frequently do form over land.

A tornado produces a greater pressure drop over a shorter distance than a hurricane.

Both produce intense low pressure.
Tornadoes and hurricanes both produce low pressure.
No, a hurricane is not a tornado over water. A tornado and a hurricane are quite different. A hurricane is a large-scale self-sustaining storm pressure system, typically hundreds of miles wide. A tornado is a small-scale vortex dependent on a parent thunderstorm rarely over a mile wide. A tornado on water is called a waterspout.
The barometric pressure at a tornado is very low, just like in a hurricane. It is also believed that many tornadoes have a relatively calm center where ari descends. This is similar to the eye of a hurricane.

Because - at the centre of a tornado (or hurricane) is an area of low pressure. Wind is 'sucked' into the centre in an attempt to equalise the pressure.
An object that is placed vertically on a plane will have the steepest pressure gradient. Placing an object on an inclined plane will reduce the pressure it applies downwards.
