It's how it's been done for 15 years. The only difference in Qt 5 is the 
"qtbase" part, because now you're running a different script. The main configure 
remains in qtbase and you should pass -prefix %CD% or not pass anything.

Passing something different should work (and does work on Unix), but as you've 
found out, it's broken on Windows since no one tests that.

Yes, it can. You can do out-of-source builds and those work just fine. That has 
nothing to do with make install. You're not asking for out-of-source, you're 
asking for install-out-of-build.

It cannot be easily moved and we know that. It's been like that for 15 years.

The installers have always hacked around the problem: they do a binary edit of 
the DLLs and of qmake to replace the build paths with the install path.
