If I got new boots and the sole length is only 1mm different than my old boots, is it ok to ride without readjusting the bindings??

The binding length should be OK, but the DIN might need changed, depends if youre on the margin or not. What kinda bindings?

dont worry about the change of din unless you were popping out too much with your old boots because you were at the high end of the margin (its not going to change at all from your old boots) and for forward pressure on the p10/12s just look behind the heelpiece and youll see a screw with a little c shaped (if your looking at it from the side) reccessed hole thing, you just want the tip of the screw to be flush with that part. Those bindings have a tendency to slip on the track so it probably wouldnt be a bad idea to check that anyway. no idea on the freerides though, sorry.

And just to clarify i mean the deepest part of that recession not the outermost part of it, your forward pressure would be off by quite a bit if that got mixed up. And to those of you with no common sense, adjust the forward pressure while the binding has something to put pressure on (like your boot is usualy a pretty decent idea).

Actualy, you're only supposed to make minor adjustments to forward pressure while the boot is in. like a half rotation or so. Any major changes in forward pressure, you should pull the boot out. Of course you gotta put the boot back in to check it afterwards
