First off, the intro:
I don't think Bonham plays all the 8th notes in the hi-hat during the intro. Listening closely, it sounds like he's playing the accented notes and an 8th pickup to the accented note. In the snare he's playing all the 8ths (accented and unaccented). He has his bass drum tuned so high and the snare so tight that you could almost think he's playing this intro between the hi-hat and bass (with accents in the snare), but I think you're right with the snare and hi-hat, no bass.
Secondly, the groove:
I think the groove he plays is a locked hands groove between the snare and hi-hat. Except for fills and brief periods of playing quarter notes in the high hat, the left and right hands are playing straight 8ths in the hi-hat and snare, respectively. You can see him play this groove this way on DVD from a 1979 concert, so I think it's how he probably played it in 1971 when Zeppelin IV was put out.
It's hard to tell from a recording whether the bass line in your groove is correct, but even if it isn't, it's a nice line and compliments the other musicians' lines well, so I'd say it's fine as is on the tab.
