Is this a bladder tank

No, it's a galvanized tank.

But is the water contained within a bladder within the galvanized tank?
Does the tank have a air valve on top of it? (looks like a valve on a
tire or inner-tube)

It's just a galvanized tank. It contains no bladder and it has no
schraider valve on top.

Then the plumbing/well guy is probably correct about the tank
water-logging. However I would be very nervous about his suggestion
to drill a small hole in the pipe a few feet below the well head. I
would first try to install a schrader valve at the top of the
galvanized tank. Of course that would require you to periodically
check and recharge the tank air. If that is required too often then
you probably need a new tank.
