How does grub install on a different partition?
Don’t get confused by the fact that GRUB has two parts, one in the master boot record (MBR) for the entire disk, and the other part (s) in the partition of the system that has the menu for GRUB. The MBR code connects to the partition with the menu. So, you don’t just do grub-install to a partition, but also to a disk.
Where is the GRUB menu in the root directory?
You are specifying the root directory where the grub menu is, ( /boot/grub ). It should have the menu already from previous installation. Once you can boot, you could run update-grub to regenerate the menu and allow all available operating systems to be accessed, if both disks are present.
Can you install one Grub on each MBR?
Auto-Repair will install one grub to every MBR. Better to keep each operating system and its boot loader on separate drives, so each drive could be booted without the other. Use Advanced options, choose operating system, and choose which drive to install boot loader into.

What’s the easiest way to install GRUB2 on MBR?
Boot-Repair is one of the easier ways to install or repair install of grub2’s boot loader (or Windows) to MBR. For BIOS based systems, but Boot-Repair can also work on UEFI based systems also.

Are there any partitions shown in Grub rescue?
My expectation was for something like (hd0) (hd0,msdos1), etc – but grub rescue can’t seem to ls any partitions at all. ls (hd0) and ls (hd1) both yield “Filesystem is unknown.” My system contains a single physical disk, with partitions:
