Basically, is the Tello App (running on a mobile device) an optional piece of equipment or is it required for the drone to operate?
Does a Tello Drone require the Tello App to run?

a tello doesnt require an app. the app just sends commands to the drone. you can control the drone from python, javascript .. whatever you want (except for some). you can basically connect to the drone from your computer and send messages to it. an example is "takeoff" and "land", i dont know how you wanna do that but some ways are, as i already said, python or javascript. check this video for python, the easiest method: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LmEcyQnfpDA
It need's a phone (or tablet), and to download the app, you can go to here. The drone is connected via wifi, and the wifi name should be fairly to recognize: 'TELLO - xxxxxx'. The app is easy to use, the left one controls the height and rotation, and the right one controls the position. There are also some warnings, including: Can't use video positioning and others.
Hope you like my answer! (Maybe I'm wrong?)
