The switchblade is a loitering munition (aka suicide drone) with a HEAT warhead - so Yes it can and should be able to attack anything, including infantry. The earlier, smaller system the 300 (used by unit #707 Rangers) has HE warheads. The 600 is designed to combat AFVs but you can target any ground unit.

As to whether something needs LOS to the target in order to act as a spotter; The operator has high resolution display from a camera on the drone and it is quite maneuverable so once the spotter says there is a target in the area the operator can find it and target it. I think the game works fine - you cant use the drone as a recon element but anything found by others can be targeted.
