Alternator and battery are on the same side of the switch, yes.

Grounds should be equal to power leads.

Your link doesn't work but I looked around a bit and saw what you were referring. Its tough to tell with that switch but the push pull style can be shortened up to have a clean install and keep it tight to the sheetmetal without a foot of rod out the back if you know what I mean. I was thinking you could make an extension for the rotary style you are looking at but you would have to figure it out after purchasing.

I'm not sure why they do separate circuits for the alternator on the 4 pole style. I never had an issue with a 2 pole.

What about a fuse on battery ground?
