"ri'e", yes. Not so sure about "zo'o" though. It's usually used as standalone, and your grammar doesn't allow ROhA to stand by itself.

Yes, {zo'o} can't stand for itself. It is described as a modifier of interjections so I ban it here.
When people use {zo'o} alone then according to altatufa ideology it implies that interjection core was elided. altatufa 
autorestores {ju'a} in such cases leading to {ju'a zo'o}.

I don't know, what about things that are not assertions:

-  zo'o do se nazbi xo da

-  zo'o ko citka ta

I think "zo'o" is more like "le'o", "vu'e", "ga'i", a stance, a mental or emotional position adopted by the speaker. What are the arguments to make it an interjection modifier?

This can be tested using the current stable version of altatufa:

It doesn't seem to work for me.
