Can I add one to a finished kitchen?
Possible and rarely cheap. A supply has to be run to the wall behind the hob with its own shut off valve, which means opening the wall. It is a job for a kitchen that is already apart.
How far should it reach?
Measure from the wall to the far burner and check the arm covers it. A filler that only reaches the front ring is decoration. Folded flat it should sit close enough to the tiles that a pan handle does not catch it.
Is there a drain?
No. A pot filler fills, it does not empty, so a spill goes on the hob and the floor. Fit it where you can see the pan while it fills.
What it is for, honestly
A pot filler is a cold water tap on the wall behind the hob, so you can fill a heavy pan where it stands instead of carrying it from the sink. It is a genuine convenience if you cook with large pans. It is also, for most kitchens, a luxury rather than a fix, and it is worth being clear about which one you are buying.
It needs a water line in that wall
This is the whole job. A supply has to be run to the wall behind the hob, and it should have its own shut off valve somewhere reachable. That means opening the wall, which means doing it while the kitchen is apart. Retrofitting one into a finished kitchen is possible and rarely cheap.

Reach and folding
The arm is usually double jointed so it folds flat against the wall when it is not in use. Measure from the wall to the far burner and check the arm covers it, because a filler that only reaches the front ring is a decoration. Fully folded, it should sit close enough to the tiles that a pan handle does not catch it.
The finish
It lives above a heat source and gets splashed with everything you cook. Unlacquered brass darkens quickly there, faster than the same metal elsewhere in the kitchen, and grease marks show until they blend in. Wipe it while the hob is still warm and it stays even.
