Yep, T/W is unitless, so multiplying by any weight gives you the thrust for an engine of that weight. All THS drives are 4 tons per space, so multiplying 4 by the T/W is the tons of thrust.
Makes sense, I was just checking if I hadn't accidentally misunderstood any of your points. Thanks for the correction w.r.t. the G numbers!
