Tornadoes are associated with low pressure systems. Therefore, pressure will drop in the time leading up to a tornado.
In a tornado, air pressure decreases at the center of the funnel due to the rapidly rotating winds. This decrease in pressure is what causes buildings to implode and debris to be lifted into the air. On the outer edges of the tornado, air pressure may increase due to the convergence of winds entering the tornado.
Air rushes into a tornado due to the low pressure at the center of the storm. The surrounding higher pressure air flows in to fill the low pressure area, creating the strong winds characteristic of a tornado.
High air pressure aloft can increase wind shear, which is a key factor in tornado rotation. Wind shear is the change in wind direction and speed with height, and when it increases due to high pressure systems, it can enhance the rotational capabilities within a storm system and potentially lead to tornado formation.
Air rushes into a tornado due to the low pressure at the center of the vortex, which creates a pressure gradient that pulls surrounding air inward. As the warm, moist air converges towards the tornado, it begins to spin due to the Earth's rotation and the updraft created by the storm, eventually forming the tornado.
The air pressure within a tornado is typically lower than that of the surrounding area. As the strong winds of a tornado rotate, they create a low-pressure center at the core of the vortex, which can cause a significant drop in air pressure.
Yes the pressure drops as the tornado forms and progresses. The tornado's lowest pressure is in the center.

The air pressure drops sharply in a tornado
If by type you mean Fujita (F) scale rating, then generally the stronger the tornado the lower the pressure.
The air pressure in a tornado is lower than that outside the tornado. That is why the wind blows toward the funnel.
The air pressure in a tornado is lower than that of its surrounding but the pressure difference varies with the strength of the tornado. The greater the pressure difference, the stronger the tornado. The greatest pressure drop recorded from a tornado was 100 millibars or about 10%.

It is not know for certain. One thing that is known is that the pressure is low inside a tornado. The intensity of a tornado is largely determined by the pressure deficit, meaning how much lower the pressure inside the tornado than its surroundings. It is estimated, that a strong tornado will have a pressure deficit of at least 25 millibars, so that if the pressure surrounding the tornado is 950 millibars, the core pressure will be 925 millibars. A violent tornado may have a pressure deficit of over 100 millibars.
Air rushes into a tornado due to the low pressure at the center of the storm. The surrounding higher pressure air flows in to fill the low pressure area, creating the strong winds characteristic of a tornado.
Air pressure drops near a tornado due to the strong updrafts within the storm. The low pressure in the center of the tornado causes air from the surroundings to be drawn in, leading to a drop in air pressure in the immediate vicinity of the tornado.
Change in air pressure causes the strong winds. In fact, most winds that we experience on Earth are caused by change in air pressure. Usually significant changes in air pressure occur over a large area and therefore it's only a slow change in pressure over distance making light winds. In a tornado, you get a significant drop in air pressure over just a few feet of land. This causes the winds to get excessivly high.
High air pressure aloft can increase wind shear, which is a key factor in tornado rotation. Wind shear is the change in wind direction and speed with height, and when it increases due to high pressure systems, it can enhance the rotational capabilities within a storm system and potentially lead to tornado formation.
