No I am not setting for zero toe; the drawing was only to demonstrate how to do it. You can do any vehicle (any toe spec) and yes using Pythagorean theorem.
I believe toe is the accumulative angle between the two tires; so 1 degree toe in would mean 1/2 a degree each.
The rear axle green marks do two things:

The rear axle green marks do two things:
1. Measuring the width on your front target and comparing to your rear target (say 84 inches and 82.75) would give you confidence that your set up works. Using my example numbers that means you have 1.25" run-out over a length of probably 30 - 50 feet (distance between board targets).
2. Having the green marks helps you get the front pointed in the same direction that the rear wants you to go.
Your toe calibration is the difference between the front target marks and the back target marks. Ignore the marks made for your rear axle when doing toe. Once your toe is set you can adjust direction by centering your toed alignment marks between the ones for your rear axle.2.
