I do believe they were John Pearse medium gauge phosphor bronze strings on the acoustic. Which was a Yamaha red label something or other. hope this helps.

Yes, they do. The gauge of a guitar string determines its thickness and therefore its pitch.
Jaco used Rotosound round-gauge strings gauged 46-63-80-102, but it would be easier to get them in 45-105 gauge.
Hendrix's strings of choice were light-gauge Fender Rock 'N' Roll sets (gauged .010, .013, .015, .026, .032, .038)

There is no "correct" gauge for guitar strings. Use whichever gauge is comfortable for you. Higher gauge strings will ring louder and longer, but sustain and volume aren't as much of an issue with electric guitars as they are for acoustic guitars. If you're really unhappy with the sound of your current strings, try another brand or move to a higher gauge once you build up some finger strength.

high gauge to get a better sound at dropped tunings.
Yes. It will change the tone of the guitar. Heavier strings tend to give you more of a rounded, bubbly sound whereas lighter gauge strings will give you a sharper, crisper sound. Jazz guitarists tend to use larger gauge strings whereas shred guitarists generally use lighter gauge strings. That is just one example.
