Steve The Apache distribution of Drill does not have a open source version of ODBC driver. There is however a JDBC driver that is available that you can use to connect to Drill from BI tools. The ODBC driver you mentioned below is provided by Simba and the license restrictions indicate that it is licensed by MapR.
Regarding your other question, yes, Drill ships with MapR distribution of Hadoop.
