The Japanese drop the subject when they think it’s obvious.
Not only can you, it is highly encouraged (and widely done).
If that’s all you say, my understanding is; no. Otherwise depending if it’s obvious then yes.
You can omit the topic (in this case I/me) if it’s clear from the context which during an introduction it certainly is clear
When you introduce yourself formally, you don’t need to omit 私 in the first sentence but it sounds more natural to omit it in the second sentences. Like, 私はBlablablaと申します。ポーランドから来ました。 I feel like “◯◯から来ました” sounds a bit better than “‘◯◯人です”.

Yeah, don’t even need です
