Saddle tilt is used to combat pain in the hands. With the saddle tilted down on a road bike, your weight is being supported by your hands, which can lead to wrist or hand pain. So you tilt the saddle up very slightly and this forces your body to keep the weight back and off your hands.

Yes, it's possible to ride in the drops with the saddle tilted up.
