if I remember correctly, Steve said that he hardcoded so that android can only boot from external memory. However, things could have changed.
You can change the partition from which you want to boot in system chooser. Example from multiboot config:

ITEM_NAME="Debian"
ITEM_ID="debian"
ITEM_DEVICE="${EXT_CARD}p1" # you can change EXT_CARD to INT_CARD and put the correct partition number instead of "1"
ITEM_MODULES="mbcache jbd ext3"
ITEM_FSTYPE="ext3"
ITEM_FSOPTIONS="noatime,rw"

Yes, as long as there is no hardcoded stuff in android that points to external memory. You should ask dj_steve.

If no hardcoded stuff in android partition, you have just to repartition your eMMC, and copy the android installation in the new partition.

You have also to adjust the bootloader to point to the right device
