I actually got exact same measurement when using a ruler and the Oculus tool. (66.7 and 67 mm)

TF2 put me as ~43. The Oculus Tool put me as 69.1. I didn't know which one was correct, so I did exactly what 360FOV suggested. I got a (cloth) ruler and measured the distance between my pupils. The Oculus tool was dead accurate.

I really doubt 43mm would be correct unless you are a child. That would put you well into the 1st percentile (and probably the first percentile of the first percentile!). What I mean is, 1 in 100 men have an ipd less than 57mm.
I concur with the need to blank out the unused eye while configuring. An optometrist would cover your eye for you, or ask you to cover your eye, instead of asking you to strain and squint to keep one eye closed (which probably messes up certain measurements now that I think about it).
I've done an experiment where I've drawn a single pixel in one eye and I cannot even guess which eye it is in! Similar thing happens with the mouse cursor when you view the desktop through the Rift. I bet the IPD tool could be written so that you don't even notice that only one eye can see whatever it is you need to look at.

Isn't it that way now? I leave both eyes open when doing the test. The line still only shows up in one eye it needs to anyways.

You haven't provided me with enough context to answer your question.

I think I can reword his question for you:
During a test of one eye, although blanking the other eye may be ideal, what does it really matter if you close your other eye or not? There isn't anything in the opposite eye that is really going to confuse him.
