Couple questions here. First
'As long as he has at least 1 point in his ki pool, he can make a ki strike. At 4th level, ki strike allows his unarmed attacks to be treated as magic weapons for the purpose of overcoming damage reduction.
' means as long as I have 1 point I can make my attacks "magical" for over coming DR but I don't have to spend a 1 ki point correct?
If I'm attacking something like a Zombie that has DR 5/slashing does the "magical" ki strike over come the DR? I can't seem to find the rules on that one.
Last question, can a Zen Archer monk make his arrows as he fires them magical using ki strike to overcome DR?

There's no cost, as long as your pool isn't empty.

No, it only bypasses DR X/magic.
Last question, can a Zen Archer monk make his arrows as he fires them magical using ki strike to overcome DR?
At 17th level he can (because his bow effectively becomes a "ki focus" bow if his pool isn't empty). But by that point he probably has a magic bow, anyways.
1. Correct.
2. No. Your ki strike allows your weapons to overcome DR/magic, but not any other type of damage reduction.
3. Yes. Ki Focus Bow (which you get at 17th level) lets you use ki strike to allow your arrows to overcome DR/magic.
