Purchased a new home, owner had tons of things on walls. Lots of anchor holes (some with plastic anchors still in there) and rips in drywall paper (not large but many).

Should I repair with wallboard compound or fast drying spackle?

Should I try and pull the anchors, force them into the wall, or just imbed them enough to compound spackle them?

Can I use a hair dryer to speed drying process when I need multiple coats?

Thanks for the advice!

Spackle is made for that. Depending on the anchor, pulling them out can
do more damage. Pushing them in is easy enough.

If you have a lot of holes it will probably be dry enough by the second
time around to not need the air dryer.
