From our given information, can we assume that the stresses and torques given are representative of all stresses and torques on the cube, without taking into account that the stresses would cause a given torque as they would require a force to exists. As in, this is the situation, there is no more extrapolation needed.

Also, is that To acting both on the xz and zy face its ambiguous
tau_0 is a shear stress. Think about where it would act using the given representation.
Yes, you can assume that the given stress element has all the information needed.
