Can drone photos be sold commercially?

Yes, but commercial drone use requires a Part 107 license from the FAA. Many stock photography sites accept drone images. Licensing requirements vary by country.

What resolution do I need for large prints?

For a 24x36 inch print at 300 DPI, you need roughly 25MP. The 48MP sensors on modern DJI drones provide ample resolution for gallery-sized prints with room to crop.
