Is there a way to drop the objects on the linked server DB? Also any way to execute Select * in to xyz from abc

Both xyz and abc are on linked server.

Thanks

To drop a table on a linked server:

EXEC serverName.database.userContext.sp_executesql N'drop table tableName'

I don't think that you are going to be able to do SELECT INTO with a linked server. You can do this though:

SELECT *
INTO Table1
FROM serverName.database.dbo.objectName
