How many people should we have approximately?

Four not including a DM. A standard stereotypical party of characters consists of the Healer, The Wizard, the Fighter, and the Rogue.

Do we really need an experienced DM or can we do it with the Dungeon master guide, Player Guide, and Monster Manual?

I'd highly recommend it. Granted, the books themselves aren't too terribly complex, but without someone there to guide you through it while running the game, it's near impossible to learn anything right off the bat. It's definitely no board game where the rules consist of a two page pamphlet.

my friend insistes on being a drow is that a standard playable race also he wants to be a dragonfire adept can you start out as that class (he knows this stuff from neverwinter nights)

Drow are standard races, they can be found in the monster manual, and below the standard stats is a section called "Creating a drow character" with there starting statistics. Dragonfire adept isn't part of NWN or any normal DND rules, it's in the book Dragon Magic. It is a core class, but I'd recommend that you stick to one of the eleven original core classes before moving onto advanced stuff.
If he's just wanting a bit of dragon abilities, recommend sorcerer to him, that way he can take the prestige class Dragon Disciple.
