On TL only toe can be adjusted, both front and rear (without aftermarket parts).
If your car has stock suspension, camber/caster in red is caused by worn or damaged parts. Only way to fix it is to replace the parts.
Do you see any pulling or tire wear?

That and MPG are only things affected by bad alignment. I would say it's all right, and if all suspension parts are fine just drive it and enjoy.

I had unusual wear on the inside of my rear tires. And a pull to the left. I changed the tires and got the alignment. And this is the result. Car goes slightly to the left (a little noticeable when I let go of the steering wheel) but not like before.

Your car will always pull to the left until you fix the suspension and have it realign.
Rear tires will continue to wear unevenly due to too much neg camber.
Left caster. The left front side is back further than it should be. Most likely due to an accident or the car hitting something hard on the left side and pushing the left suspension and/or crossmember back. If a part was worn a good shop would of told you during the alignment.
Rear camber. Probably worn springs and/or shocks.
Also, some of the neg camber at the rear is due to too much caster on the front suspension.
So it's a combination of worn parts and too much caster at the front that's causing the too much neg camber at the rear.
