I want to create a feature where users can register for an account on my site and their "location" will be publicly shown on a map. However, it doesnt need to be too accurate. In fact its probably better that its not for privacy reasons.

It would be good enough if a user entered the name of their "nearest city" and hopefully Google would represent that.

Is what I am describing possible?
Does the ToolSet Maps "address" field require a fully formed street address OR Lat/Longitude data?

Hello,

Yes, your user can input only their city name into the address field, without street or house number, Google map will set a specific location of this city for those address field with the same Lat/Longitude data.

And it will conduct a problem, in the google map, some items are in same location, you can use map clustering for displaying those markers, see our document:
