I did this and it booted the main linux installation from the SSD even
though grub was booted from the USB stick. Is there a way to confirm that
it booted in EFI mode?

Also, how exactly do I proceed from here, I re-read this thread but don't
see what should I do next.

I ran 'apt-get install grub-efi-amd64', but this did not result in the
directory /boot/grub/x86_64-efi showing up, it installed a bunch of files
in /etc/kernel and /usr/share

thank you.
