I put the rotor on and attached the magnetic part on the rotor and the dial on the nut. Wiggling back and forth I got readings of 1mm of travel. By feel only there was no play at all. With the wheel on there is still no in/out travel but some back and forth travel.
Tightening by hand does not allow me to "lock" the hub/rotor. Should I be cranking that nut with channel locks or something?

If you mounted the stand on the rotor face - did you lock down the rotor to the hub? it takes a spacer and a lug bolt to lock it down, otherwise all readings are off.
I personally like the advance by hand method and the correct quantity of good ol' american wheel bearin' grease fer them new fangled disc brakes
