Then how do young grimm appear elsewhere in greater numbers? if older grimm were the only ones on other continents until Salem sent them there, numbers outside Salem's domain would skew towards experience, so either they can "teleport" past natural obstructions, or they spawn elsewhere.

This is more assumption. Grimm could be dropped there shortly after being born. We also don't know how long it takes for them to have the kind of experience to be serious threats. It is implied that the Deathstalker and Nevermore from Volume 1 were around for a really long time. However, they don't seem to be on the same level as the Goliaths. For all we know a "child" Grimm could be as much as 50 years old or more.

We already know they can spawn from the dragon, so that just proves my point.

The Dragon is a special Grimm and it could be that such Grimm are how they show up elsewhere. What we know for sure is that we don't know how or why they show up anywhere else. Could be those special pools have to be set up somehow and thus typically only appear in heavy Grimm territory. Setting them up under the eye of Huntsmen and Huntresses could be risky. Also, Salem did say to "reinforce our numbers" at Beacon, suggesting they are being sent there rather than spawning at the location.

2. I invite you to look at the WOR Maps... other than the one about the war itself, they should be current, and all of them show cities in Northern Mistral, by the fact RNJR didn't land there, we have further evidence that terrain there is likely difficult to traverse.

I don't know what ones you are talking about. The World of Remnant on Mistral itself only mentions some settlements nearby and suggests these are considered far. None of it is close to the far northern parts referenced in the one about the Great War. Settlements could still exist out there, but now exist outside the authority of the Kingdom.
