No, grub2 should go to the MBR of the disk, not on the root partition.
If you have separate /home partition you need to tell the installer to use it during the install. In the manual partitioning, click the partition and select Change, then choose the filesystem in the Use As field, for example ext4 if it's ext4. Select mount point /home, that will use it as /home. Make sure the format box IS NOT selected, otherwise you will lose the data.
