If you align the axel and keep those adjustments screws in line, it will straigten the chain some too, as well as your brake rotor.

If your axel is not in 'plain', it will throw everything off. Get the chain running true and your rotor problem probably fixes as well.

Loosen up the bolts, and get the chain running true, then worry about the tension on the chain by adjusting them evenly after that. Just loosen it first don't try to align it if it is too tight.

Mate I have my own tools, the Gio wrenches are horrible. A good set of sockets, screw drivers and wrenches is a must have if you're going to do any mechanical work. I spent 13 years in an engine shop and own Mac and Snap On from those years. However, crapsman or motomasters will do you just fine.
