Do you still need the resistor on the distributor if you buy a 12v coil

It all depends on which coil you buy. Some coils tha tare called 12 volt need an external resister and some do not. The key is to buy a coil that says right on it no external resister needed.

If its a full true 12 Volt Coil on a 12 volt tractor NO external ballast is required

A coil labeled "12 Volts" or "12 Volts not for use with ballast" is a full 12 volt coil NO ballast required just as it says

HOWEVER a coil labeled "12 volts for use with (or requires) external ballast" is more in reality a 6 volt coil and needs the ballast just like it says.
