To do a Kill 20 so-and-so quest, you kill 20 and your finished.

To do a Collect 20 so-and-so quest, You Kill 20 and your just started... even at a 100% drop rate you need 100 kills to finish the quest. (note: some quest s have one of the item drop for each party member, for those quests collection is fine)
Yeah, don't really have a problem looting with different toons. For any collection quests, I usually go to Wowhead to get an idea of the drop rate, along with the comments (which usually has how bad the grind is). Also look to see if it's on a chain worth doing.
