Trayvon was mere feet from the apartment where he was staying.
DeeDee just testifies that Martin said he was near his townhome. No mention or "mere feet" or absolute distance. "Near" is relative when you've just walked a mile from the 7-11.
Trayvon was mere feet from the apartment where he was staying. That apartment was about 10 doors from where the thing happened. When George was going back to his truck, Trayvon followed him and assaulted him. Trayvon was home. He should have just marched in the door and called 911 if he was skeered.
See how simple it is?
It would have been equally simple if GZ had simply followed his training, called 911 made his report and waited for the police to arrive.

Zimmerman did do that. He was on his way back to his truck to wait on the cops (after just hanging up with the dispatcher and telling him 'He's gone' referring to Martin disappearing) when he was approached by Martin,who had been on the phone with DeeDee.

No question, if George had stayed and waited, and Trayvon went home, nothing would have happened that night.
But the location is important. The location was not only obvious from the body's location, way down in the grassy area, it was quite a ways from where Zimmerman has continually stated it first happened. The police noted this before and during the re-enactment. Since we can only rely on Zimmerman's statements for the story, it's hard to rely on if important elements are incorrect.
But I'll defer to your judgment now, and wait to see what happens in Court.

No first he violated the training of his neighborhood watch which is to observe and report. Take no action. He pursued TM. As fare as going back to his vehicle? We only have GZ's word on that. A word that is questionable at best.

except he said after he hung up that he went in search of a street sign away from the truck but not where Martin was found.

No. Watch the reenactment. Where GZ said he was attacked and then him looking at where the body was found. That was interesting.
Good point. It makes me wonder why Zimmerman keeps insisting that the initial encounter was at the T. Because at least one neighbour said the sounds of the struggle started further away from the T and moved that way. And the body ended up maybe 35 feet away from the T.
That would suggest that Zimmerman had indeed gone down the dog walkway, i.e. he was following or searching for Trayvon, and not just returning to his truck.
