How much strength to use zweihander

Yes, as a improvised weapon. You can technically wield anything as a weapon, as long as it could conceivably do damage. The greatswords are designed to be wielded two-handed, and they are balanced as two-handed weapons and wielding them single-handed is awfully awkward due to the inertia momentum. You have to keep it constantly in motion.

Yes, it is possible, but there are better weapons for single-hand use. Looted from a body on the bridge, guarded by the Hellkite Wyvern, in upper Undead Burg. The Zweihander is widely used for similar reasons, it has low stat requirements for an ultra-greatsword and outputs insane damage compared to other weapons of similar weight at the level you can wield it.

Dumped into strength until 40 then 50 for havels shield. Into endurance if i needed more carry weight and dex if a wep requires it. This could be useful if you find yourself in many 1v2 situations, for example if you constantly PvP in the forest or Dark Anor Londo areas. Additional poise can let you tank an extra hit or two if your opponents are using low poise-damaging weapons essentially any non-great weapons.

Unfortunately the damage is percentage-based, so without healing you will die in those seconds. However if you use a fully upgraded pyromancy flame it will deal massive damage, so you need to make sure you have an unupgraded pyromancy flame if you use Power Within.
