When hooking two HRD's together using the preamp out to power amp in will the drive channel on the second amp be controlled by the primary amp like the volume and tone controls or would there have to be a separate foot switch for the second amp ?

Pre-out to power-in completely bypasses the second amp's preamp. The first amp isn't doing anything to the second amp's volume/tone controls -- they aren't even in the circuit when using the second amp as a slave amp.

The "more drive" mode is entirely preamp distortion, so when you switch the first amp into the "more drive" mode it'll send a distorted signal to the second amp's power amp. Switching the second amp into "more drive" mode is unnecessary (and wouldn't do anything since the second amp's preamp is out of the circuit -- when you increase the first amp's preamp distortion both power amp's will reproduce the distorted signal produced by the first amp's preamp).
