I understand about putting the new high pressure line(replacing the line with arrows)

Also that this line goes to the power steering cooler

The other end of the cooler connects to the return line on the rack. It's the other hose coming out of it in the first picture you have.

res to pump, pump to rack, rack to cooler, cooler to res.

I would suggest you get the SS PS line from driftmotion.
When you get that you'll run the thicker hose from the res into the PS pump.
Then run the SS PS line from Driftmotion from the pump to the rack.
Then from the rack, it'll go under the engine through the hose in the first pic with the red arrows.
From the cooler, it'll run back into the res.
You won't need the other line on the rack. That goes from the 7m pump which is on the left side of the engine. So you can take that line out and sell it or throw it out.

I've got no pictures for you, but yes, the one with the green arrow is the rack return line, where you'd connect the other end of the cooler.

If you want a cheaper alternative to the Driftmotion pressure line I recommend one for a 94 Maxima, costs about $30 from Autozone and works & fits great.

The Nissan hose uses banjo fittings like stock, and should come with crush washers.
