I need to know how to replace the water pump inlet tube. Do I need to drain the coolant?

Yes you need to drain system then remember to lube o-ring on new part prior to install, so it is not torn.
Drain cooling system
Remove hose clamps/hoses from tube
Remove retaining bolts on tube, slide tube rearward out of pump housing
Lube O'ring and reinsert tube

see pictures.
