You may get native species moving in on their own if you're in a rural area. If you're moving them from a local pond to your pond, they might survive, but they may be carrying parasites that will affect your fish.
If they're store bought frogs and newts, I wouldn't do it. There's a good chance they need a different environment, especially in terms of temperature if you're in the north (most species sold are tropical). There's also a chance of them escaping and causing problems for your local species - by spreading disease for which the locals have no immunity, taking over breeding areas, or eating/killing them directly. Exotics should never be allowed freedom in a natural environment.

Yes, there is no problem there. Koi are too large for the frogs to be aggresive towards. Some frogs and newts will sometimes eat fish under 1 or 2 inches, but Koi are to large for them to ingest.
If you have any qustions just email me at thms_stpn@yahoo.com. I have been raising koi for years.
Hope this helps!

It depends what kind of frogs because some frogs actually eat some fish. I think the kois are very big to get eaten.

Depends how big the frogs are compared to the fish. They might eat eachother if the size contrast is extreme. But otherwise it should be fine.

in case you mulch around it and bypass away factors or logs for them to get below you will desire to.. you have gotten to deliver them indoors in a tank throughout winters worst.. yet sure you will desire to positioned frogs and turtles only make particular the koi are super sufficient the turtle cant eat it and there is countless room interior the pond and around it yet make particular theres something to maintain the turtle from thinking off

I doubt it.
Many large fish eat frogs.
And I wouldn't bother with the newt...
