If you are not sure that the food was been touched by a Mushrik with wetness, then you can take as Taahir, but if you are that it was definitely been touched by a Mushrik with wetness, then you must avoid consuming it.

Feet . Water . Masah . Wudu (Ablution)

If a few drops of water fall on my feet while performing Wudhu, do I need to dry them before doing Masah? Will my Wudhu be invalid if I choose not to?

If you can perform Masah (wiping) on the dry area on your feet, then it is valid, but never do Masah on the water which falled on your feet. If the whole area is wet with that water,b then you need to dry it before performing Masah in it.

As for Wudhu yes and you need to repeat it.
As for Ghusl also yes, but you may be able to make it valid very easily.
So if this dry part is in your left side of the body you can make it wet with the intention of Ghusl and this way your incomplete Ghusl will become complete and valid (The reason is in Ghusl, Muwaalaat i.e. "not creating distance between the components of a task" is not a condition for validity but in Wudhu it is!)
According to Sayyed Khamenei if this dry part is in your right side of the body you have to make it wet and also wash the left side as well because in his viewpoint, the sequence of head and neck then right then left side has to be observed according to obligatory precaution. same is with the head and neck i.e. if the dry part is in your head and neck you have to repeat on right and left part again.
According to Sayyed Sistani, if this dry part is in your right part of the body also you can make it wet with the intention of Ghusl and there is no need to wash the left part afterwards.
But if it's in head and neck then you need to wash the body afterwards.

Ghusl . Water . Body . Hair

When performing mandatory Ghusl, I often feel uncertain that water has reached every part of my body, especially my hair, leading to wasted time and water. How can I ensure the water reaches the roots of my hair effectively?

Repeated doubts in Ghusl or Wudhu or Prayers can be from Shaitan to disturb you. That is why Ahlul Bayt (AS) have ordered those who have repeated doubts to ignore such doubt and go ahead with out giving ant attention to the doubt.

Ignoring the repeated doubt will help you to get rid of it.

Water . Ghusl . Salah (Prayers)

What should we do if it is winter, there is no access to hot water, and we have obligatory Ghusl and prayer to perform?

If performing Ghusl is not possible, then Tayammum is obligatory instead of Ghusl. After performing Tayammum when Ghusl is not possible, all the worships like Salaah will be valid.

Nails . Blood . Water

Is the area under my nails where there is dried blood, called sprinter hemorrhage in medical terms, considered impure especially when it comes into contact with water for Wudhu?

The dried blood under the nail is either not Najis or does not spread Najasah, because it is not on outer part if the body but covered by the nail.

Face . Water . Najasa (Impurity) . Eyes

Can eyes get impure? If I had impure hands and rubbed my eyes is it impure? What if I had an impurity on my face and while trying to clean it a drop of water from the impurity got in my eyes?

Bismihi ta'ala

No, eyes cannot get impure.

The eyelid can, because its external, and simply putting it under water would purify it.

Blood . Water . Salah (Prayers) . Wudu (Ablution)

I had a cut on my finger which, before Wudhu, I washed twice. Blood remained on the actual slit of the cut, less than a Dirham, and while performing Wudhu the blood was diluting with the water. Is my Wudhu and Salat valid?

Parts of Wudhu must be Taahir during performing Wudhu. If blood was flowing during performing Wudhu from a place of Wudhu, Wudhu will be then invalid, then Salah will be invalid.
