I think most of those come with the drill bit. Use the one they supply as it is a masonry bit. Probably go with 5"?? They are the blue ones.

No you should not remove them. But you still need to have a nailing surface for the screws and not the void behind the wall. I'd add more furring strips in the same way as the 2x6 idea but just...
