Narrative:

I was working final monitor west when an E170 checked in on the frequency out side of the approach fix. He went through the localizer to the east and the FMA went off. I told him he appeared to be east of the localizer and to turn right and return to the localizer immediately. He replied that he showed himself on it and asked if he should turn 5 or 10 degrees right to rejoin. I told him however much he needed to turn right and return to the localizer. While this was going on I was trying to coordinate with the other monitors that were sitting next to me that he was rejoining. Then I noticed he was descending. At that point I thought the approach was unsafe so I broke him out to the west and told him to maintain 4;000 since he was already through 4;600. I then coordinated with the final for how they wanted him back. I told him to fly heading 270 and noticed he was at 4;700. I asked him whether he was climbing or descending. He said climbing so I told him to maintain 5;000 and re-coordinated with the final. After I switched him; I noticed he went down to 4;000 anyway. I'm not sure how close the aircraft was to the other aircraft on approach to parallel runways since I was using the FMA and it has a magnification so it is very hard to determine distances.
