the best way to approach tumblr when you want to interact with someone is to assume that the point of your replies is for them to just turn up on an ongoing feed. So, yes, sometimes it is overkill to reblog just to reply, but the whole point of tumbler is to share/Post your updates in one easy to read stream.
People can also turn on optional comments for people who been following them a certain amount of time, but that's entirely up to them. Asks (private messages) disappear once answered, but can be answered publicly or privately.
It's a very addictive site, though, once you start following enough people!
