If Tailwind reduces from 30 kt to 5 kts, due to inertia, KIAS will increase 25 Kts. Yes you need drag for deceleration.

if you are approaching with F3 and TW, pitch attitude or cockpit perspective will be relatively close to the Full Flap and No TW. That could be good for landing, provided more pitch up required during flare.
