1. This is the issue.
2. This is why it's bad for your house.
3. This is what I recommend you do about it.
Be strong. If you can see the issue clearly and know what's caused it there's no reason to recommend any "evaluation" just tell 'em to get it fixed by the appropriate pro. When you punt to the other guy, if the seller hires him his response might be, "There's nothing wrong here. That home inspector doesn't know what the f*** he's talking about." and then you'll be defending your assessment.
I'm the one doing the inspection and I won't cede that responsibility to someone else. I only punt to another guy for "investigation and correction as necessary" when I don't know for certain what's causing the issue that I'm seeing. That can be a lot of stuff but it certainly wouldn't be for a missing drip edge when I can clearly see what's going on.

I've never heard of anyone in warmer climates using IWS under an asphalt roof. It might be normal in CT but I don't think you'd ever see it in VA. One certainly wouldn't see it as part of a normal install here in WA.

I also don't agree with Owens Corning installation instructions. They don't say wrap it behind the gutter, only over the edge of the eave 1/4".
This stuff doesn't matter elsewhere, but it matters big time where there are substantial icing conditions.
