How can I summon a mob at the same place as a dropped item? I tried /summon Zombie @e[type=Ingot.iron] but I couldn't get it to work.
Also, is it possible to summon mobs to a named item, e.g. an iron ingot named "Zombie"?
/summon doesn't take a a target to summon the mob at, so you'll need to use /execute, and selectors can't select items by type, so you'll need to use /scoreboard players set (which can set a score for items with specific NBT data) to set the entity's score first, and then select it based on that scoreboard objective.
First, set up a dummy scoreboard objective that we will use to keep track of items that are iron ingots:
/scoreboard objectives add isIronIngot dummy
Then run this on a clock, to set all dropped iron ingot's isIronIngot score to 1:
/scoreboard players set @e[type=Item] isIronIngot 1 {Item:{id:"minecraft:iron_ingot"}}
Now, whenever you want to spawn a zombie at the iron ingots, use this command:
/execute @e[score_isIronIngot_min=1] ~ ~ ~ /summon Zombie
Which will make anything with an isIronIngot score of (at least) 1 summon a zombie.
To have this only work with ingots named "Zombie", replace the second command with:
/scoreboard players set @e[type=Item] isIronIngot 1 {Item:{id:"minecraft:iron_ingot",tag:{display:{Name:"Zombie"}}}}

I feel that there is definitely an easier way:
/execute @e[type=Item] ~ ~ ~ summon Zombie ~ ~ ~
It should work, just the only downside is that /execute cannot support NBT's like {Item:{id:"minecraft:iron_ingot"}}
You could use the following command:
/entitydata @e[type=Item,c=1] {CustomName:"ironIngot"}
to give the item a name. (ironIngot is only an example)
Then you use this command:
/execute @e[name=ironIngot] ~ ~ ~ summon Zombie ~ ~ ~ {}
to summon the zombie.
I left the brackets empty to indicate that you could give tags to the zombie to customise it
