I'm not entirely sure if I understood your first question, so I'll try to answer it as broadly as I can:
To ignore DR: Magic you only need a +1 weapon.
To ignore DR: Silver you would need a +3 weapon, or a weapon made out of silver. A +2 flaming bow would not ignore DR: Silver with its normal damage, though the fire damage would since fire is energy type damage.
Manyshot only counts for the first shot in a full attack action. The rest of your attacks would be resolved normally.

first question: depending on the DR you are trying to get thorugh
magic is +1
cold iron and silver is +3
adamanite is +4
alignment is +5
epic is above that
but it actually has to have the enchantment bonus equal to the bonus you are trying to overcome
you could however have a +1 bane and be just fine
second, I don't know check the feat
Near as I can tell, having the bane enchantment on your weapon doesn't necessarily mean you ignore DR.
A +1 construct bane longsword would count as +3 against an iron golem, not high enough to penetrate his DR 15 / adamantine.
That said, it's usually logical that bane weapons are made of whatever material is needed to destroy the target of the bane effect - silver swords for Shapeshifter bane, cold iron for fey bane, and so on.
I believe Lord Foul was referring to +1 Bane counting as +3, and bypassing cold-iron/silver. You're right that a golem (most of them anyhow) would require +2 Construct Bane to bypass their adamantine DR (assuming it wasn't "adamantine & bludgeoning").
Regarding the questions in the original post: +2 Flaming Bow is a +2 magic weapon. The Flaming only contributes to the cost equivalency of the weapon, not to any functional aspects such as bonus to hit/damage or ability to bypass DR.
You get to use Manyshot for the first attack to make in a full attack action. It doesn't matter how many attacks you get or which ones are normal and which are haste/speed bonuses... the first shot has 2 arrows, all the others have 1 arrow.
That said, it's usually logical that bane weapons are made of whatever material is needed to destroy the target of the bane effect - silver swords for Shapeshifter bane, cold iron for fey bane, and so on.
Logical yes, but sadly not always the case. My fey bane rapier I picked up in kingmaker wasn't cold iron. What the heck!!

Come to think of it... A +1 fey bane rapier wouldn't actually need to be cold iron since the +3 bonus would cut through DR: Cold Iron anyway. Skipping cold iron on the rapier means you save 2000 gold, since cold iron is apparently tricky t o enchant. So it sounds like you found the rapier of someone thrifty!

Or someone who was only concerned with defeating fey. A +1 bane (fey) rapier would penetrate DR X/cold iron of any fey creature, but would not penetrate DR X/cold iron against any other creature type (like demons, for example).
