>>Is it true that in order to produce any actionable genomic information, they must have an actual tissue sample?

Right now that is true.

There are some experimental procedures for looking for mutated DNA from blood, but those are not routinely used. The challenge of course is that in blood you are looking for a needle not just in a haystack but more like in a 1,000 acre farm.
