It depends what you read into "starboard drift" and "port drift". You may well be correct, if so I agree with your answers.
No "depends" about it. Starboard drift is when you are drifting to the starboard, i.e., the wind is from the port, easiest way to remember is the starboard wing is forward on the track made good. Port drift is the opposite.

In question one, 5 deg starboard drift means the nose is pointing 355 relative to the TMG, the NDB is 350 relative to the TMG (1/60 rule) which makes the NDB bearing 355 relative to the aircraft.

Question two is 342 relative.

In other words, QF2 has it right.
