Bars as high as makes it comfortable for you. TBH I'd just leave them as they were - you'll get used to them - just adapting to drops as you've never used them until this bike.
Them levers are not designed to go next to the Stem, will 1) look silly (but who cares tho) and 2) be more tricky to use. The levers were originally fitted with cross tops (giving you an extra braking position when your hands are by the stem) - I'll have a dig around and see if I can find the bits I took off- it's just some lever shaped bits and a couple of screws (you'll be able to see where the screw went in).
I'll get back to you if I find them...
