    yes - that's right - one wheel drive - perfectly normal for trikes.
    You can get two wheel drive - but you'd need a differential axle.

    The one wheel drive will make it harder to turn towards the drive wheel, but not impossible unless you're turning too tightly.

    you'd need to contact a specialist who could make up a special rear axle - a guy I used to work with had his converted - but he's a bit of a trike specialist and was doing thousands of miles on it in a year.
    Also - it wasn't a mission trike - so you'd have to ask yourself if it was worth the cost of conversion.
