Alignment will not cause a shake or shimmy. How does changine toe, camber, caster and making a car drive straight fix a shimmy or shake. It is a pulsation in the pedal when braking, almost like ABS but without the "cool" sound. That is thickness variation and it is a large problem with Disk brakes.

On a FWD car I would not reccomend turning the rotors just replace. There is a lot of components up front and you want all the mass you can get out of the rotor. If you drive your car hard I would not suggest turning the rotors, just replace. Trust me it is worth it.
