If I have multiple linux distributions I may want to re-install grub to
the partition with '/boot' from the other install, not the current one.

There are no conflicts on EFI partitions, as when we install in UEFI
mode grub uses it's own subdirectory as per UEFI spec.

Why should I not install on top of Windows partitions? Maybe I'm done
with windows, do not want to boot it but want to keep it for accessing
it's files?

Just because these options are useless for you, it doesn't mean that
grub cannot be installed into them and be useful to somebody else.
