Code:
mob
    var
        targetlist = ""
mob
    Click(mob/M)
        if(istype(M,/mob))
            if(usr.Target == 1)
                for(M in usr.targetlist)
                    M.overlays -= /obj/Target
                    usr.targetlist -= M
                    usr.Target = 0
            if(usr.Target == 0)
                usr.targetlist+=M
                M+=/obj/Target
                usr.Target = 1


Problem description:
The mobs will not get an overlay, and they are not added to the variable targetlist.

No overlay is being added to the mob, because you don't have any such statement anywhere in that code. All you have that has to do with overlays is "M.overlays -= /obj/Target".

As for your problem with targetlist... it's not a list, it's text. You need to define that variable as a list if you want to treat it as a list:
mob
    var
        list/targetlist = new /list()
mob
    Click(mob/M)
        if(istype(M,/mob))
            if(usr.Target == 1)
                for(M in usr.targetlist)
                    M.overlays -= /obj/Target
                    usr.targetlist.Remove(M)
                    usr.Target = 0
            if(usr.Target == 0)
                usr.targetlist.Add(M)
                M+=/obj/Target
                usr.Target = 1

Do you really want all the Players to see the target object on the mob, even if they're not the one targeting the mob? Otherwise, if you want only the mob who targeted the target to see the target object, then read up on client.screen.

Hmmm...how would I do that?
mob
    var
        list/targetlist = new /list()
mob
    Click(mob/M)
        if(istype(M,/mob))
            if(usr.Target == 1)
                for(M in usr.targetlist||M in usr.client.screen)
                    usr.client.screen-=/obj/Target
                    
                    usr.targetlist.Remove(M)
                    usr.Target = 0
            if(usr.Target == 0)
                var/obj/Target/T
                usr.targetlist.Add(M)
                usr.client.screen+=T
                T.screen_loc = M.loc
                usr.Target = 1
