I have a couple questions.
1) At 4th level they gain 'Mark of the Silver Fist'. this does not replace anything. is this intentional or was something left out?
2) A Monk of the Silver Fist gains Improved Shield Bash and Buckler Bash as possible monk bonus feats starting at 1st level, but why? outside of Shielding Fist a Monk of the Silver Fist cannot use actual shields.
2a) Does attacking with their gauntlets make them lose their shield bonus? if so then improved shield bash makes sense.
2b) Since you can already attack with a gauntlet, is the point of Buckler Bash just the second part of the feat (becoming an associated weapon for Iron Tortoise and Broken Blade)?
2c) this may just me being nitpicky, but are the bonus feats provided added to the list of possible bonus feats forever, or just at the levels indicated (1st, 6th, 10th)?
3) any plans on doing something for Unchained monk in the future? That Style Strike class feature just screams Path of War.
What is this from?

Intentional.
2) A Monk of the Silver Fist gains Improved Shield Bash and Buckler Bash as possible monk bonus feats starting at 1st level, but why? outside of Shielding Fist a Monk of the Silver Fist cannot use actual shields.
So that you can shield bash with your gauntlets. See Iron Tortoise for reasons why.
2a) Does attacking with their gauntlets make them lose their shield bonus? if so then improved shield bash makes sense.
By RAW, yes.
2b) Since you can already attack with a gauntlet, is the point of Buckler Bash just the second part of the feat (becoming an associated weapon for Iron Tortoise and Broken Blade)?

It works the same as the basic bonus feats for monks. So they're still available later.
3) any plans on doing something for Unchained monk in the future? That Style Strike class feature just screams Path of War.
Yes, no, maybe. Haven't really looked at it at this time. We've got a lot on our plates, but it's certainly possible.

Does this shield bash also have the advanced gauntlet damage?

Yes, shield bashing with your gauntlets would deal advanced damage, because the damage increase is applied to your attacks with the gauntlet, and the gauntlet counts as a shield. So since your shield bash is also a gauntlet attack, it gets increased damage.
does any of this allow you to put shield enchantments on your gauntlets?
