Does this even apply in Zimmerman's case? How can the court find that the defendant is immune from prosecution when the defendant was already prosecuted? The fact that he was found innocent doesn't change that.

Section (2) says that a case can be brought if the police/agency determine that the force used was unlawful. Which is what Corey did in order to prosecute.

This may mean that Zimmerman can even sue the state for any costs he incurred (his lawyers worked pro-bono, but the expert witnesses probably didn't) in the criminal trial.

Section (2) says that police can’t arrest you without probable cause. Again, not the case in this instance. They thought they had a case and they botched it.
