Why the water drop next to the face when a character is embarrassed?

Why are male characters shown getting nose bleeds when they unexpectedly see a nude girl?

People, not just Japanese, do sweat when they are embarrassed. The nose bleeds is just a sign to indicate that person is getting turned on.

Anime is based on Japanese characteristics and behavior. Some of the stuff on anime is just some quirk that became popular. American T.V. shows and movies have their own little quirks that may seem strange to foreigners. Like saying, "Wanna come up for coffee" instead of saying, "Wanna come up to my apartment for sex."

I think it's meant to be a nervous sweat-drop.
