> Any tips as to how to accurately measure the distance between pivot and tip of the swingarm
This isn't really the important measurement - you want the chain to be straight, and there's a few alignment tools for that:

How did you realise the markings were off? I don't really understand what your response is that would involve a loose nut.
If you still don't trust the marking, they make chain alignment tools but you might have to temporarily remove the chain guard.
As said though, the swing arm markings will be fine though. Maybe use a metal ruler to make sure the adjuster blocks are equal distances from the end of the swing arm. There is a risk that you will in fact be less accurate with your method because you'll have to distort the tape measure and judge where the center of the bolts and nuts are.
