do i need to craft the tape measure or does it come with the mod

can i measure diagonally or only straight lines

You can measure between any two blocks regardless of their position, so diagonal measurements work just fine.

why isnt my measurement displaying on screen

Make sure you right-clicked two different blocks in sequence and that the measurement menu didn't get accidentally closed. Try taking a new measurement to see if it appears.

can i use this mod for building planning

Yes, the mod is useful for measuring building dimensions before construction—right-click two corners of where you want to build to see the exact space you have to work with.

does this mod work in multiplayer

Measurements are displayed on your client side, so other players won't see your measurements, but the mod functions normally in multiplayer servers.

what if i want to clear just one measurement instead of all of them

Currently, Shift + right-click clears all measurements at once—there isn't a way to remove individual measurements without clearing the entire list.
