What are you looking for by using the grid?   Tiller? Tips lining up?
I guess what I'm getting at, is that there is too many variables and to much alining to do using the grid. 
Train your eye and use a tilling gizmo to tiller out to about two or three inches from full draw.  For the last two or three inches take pictures or use a mirror and finish tiller with eye sight and feel the balance of the limbs in your hand.  Using the grid is a good way to start but strive to get rid of it. And tiller by eye and feel.  JMHO

Most people have the nock point set a bit high, I think. I they line the grid up with the arrow the top tip will be tipped back. Wouldn't that skew the results?

Like I said, it's not for everybody. I've made a lot of bows and think I have a pretty good eye for tiller, but I like how I have this picture available to me that I can zoom in and out and really study hours away from having the bow on a string, and get back to it later. I think I will be using it for a while to come.

I line a horizontal grid line up with the tips and the central vertical line to cut through the hand grip

Not really. If thats how they are gonna shoot it, thats how they should tiller it. May as well line tje horizontal line with the arrow and adjust accordingly.

So the tips should both be on a line that's 90° to the arrow?

Thats pretty cool. Not sure I'm not tech saavy enough to set it up but it looks like a neat tool.

Depends.  If you want a symmetrical tiller, then yes. Otherwise,  no. Typically, you want the upper tip on the line, and lower a tad stiffer, so it doesnt quite touch.
