Is there a percentage of the TDP which is usually the idle power draw?

No, they’re almost entirely unrelated. Almost all CPUs will idle close to 0 W (with correctly working drivers). The main idle power contribution comes from the mainboard and other devices (e.g. disks). The Mini PCs you mentioned should have a very low total idle power, probably below 10W.

Check out Wolfgang on YouTube, he has some great videos on the topic: youtu.be/Ppo6C_JhDHM

Gamers Nexus reports 44W at idle with the G4560 which is already more than the G5400T’s MAX TDP of 35W, so it’s a pretty significant difference.

Assuming the RAM and other components are similar, I’d go with the G5400T system.

Unfortunately no, which can make it a pain to figure out. You’d have to research the CPU itself.
