I experienced this same issue last year. I only found the solution for Photoshop:
Go to Edit -> Preferences -> Experimental Features -> Select "Scale UI 200%" AND "Enable touch gestures"
photoshop, Illustrator, CS6 interface too small on surface pro

Hello, I just purchased the Surface Pro from Best Buy. I bought it to use adobe products such as Photoshop, Illustrator, and such. The menu and icons are so small making it nearly impossible to navigate through the tools and menus.
Are there any options? I love the tablet but will be returning it in the next week if I can't find a solution.
Thanks,
Kip

That a problem with Photoshop itself... Its not respecting the scaling factor of Windows. The MacOS had the same problem too after Retina displays came out.
I'm afraid you cant do anything about it. You have to wait until Adobe addresses this problem.

2014-06-15T21:46:00+00:00 Maybe in a mean time while adobe, autodesk and other big guys addressing the issue with screen resolution, windows could come up with idea of a better magnifier. Not the one that chasing cursor like crazy, driving me nuts!!! but few magnifiers that could lie still on the areas where magnification needed.
