What about those 4 and 0 over the Es? Do they make sense for trombone?

Because for violin they look like fingering hints. You can make that E with either the 4th finger on the A string or with no fingers on the E strings. You can see the same 4s on my picture. I think my book wanted to use this piece to teach when to use the 4th finger and when the empty string.

The trombone starts at 1st position (slide all the way in) in my experience, so yeah you're probably right about the marks being for violin, where I presume 0 means open/no fingering?

Yes, they do. In that case, no fingers on the E string to make an E
