Hydrochloric acid AKA muriatic acid will dissolve the zinc if you want it gone. Be mindful of the toxic fumes though.
Is the other half of the hinge still attached to tub? If so, I doubt you will find anything at the hardware store to match. You'll probably have to remove that half to get anything else to work.
When welding on the hinges I'd run a straight piece of wire the same size as the hinge pin, temporarily, all the way through both hinges so they are aligned. That is, if they aren't staked in place.
