The first two threads were enough.
Your questions have been answered.
The right front of your car is so out of whack, something (such as the spindle) might actually be bent.

I can barely read parts of image.That's more of the worksheet copy than the final customer copy. Are there shims where the upper control arms attach to frame? Has the ride height been changed?

Are those the final settings when finished? If so, your alignment wasn't done right.
It's REALLY hard to tell from the picks but it looks like you may have positive caster on the left and negative caster on the right. If that is the case it will diffidently pull to the right. Your camber is crazy off as well. That is going to make the car feel off when driving not to mention excessively wear on the tires.
If that is the end results of an alignment I would go to a competent shop to have the work done. A competent shop would also be able to advise you if your ball joints, bearings or tie rod ends are bad which all can affect the longevity of an alignment.

The "Cross" sections show the difference from one side to the other, not bad at all.
UPDATE: Durrr, I was reading the sheet that can be....read. :|
UPDATE UPDATE: Yep, negative/positive up front (or the other way). The green means that is with tolerances given by someone. Me, I'd want that fixed, at least get both sides close.

Vette was eating tires at factory setting. Finally ended up at the Almo's and no more pulling or crazy tire wear.
