My new macbook pro often shows its battery life at 99% when it's plugged in and charged. Should I be worried?

Mine does this 90% of the time. I usually just unplug it for awhile and let the battery drain, then plug it back in. Not sure if this is the correct way to do it or not.

your mac will remain at that level until it drops to below 94%, then it will recharge up to 100%, it hovers around 98 or 99% but NOTHING is wrong. You should drain your battery every month... ONCE a month in my opinion and then let it recharge and it will go to 100%, but you don't need to do that for it to charge to 100%.
