If you want to do this to test out an image before flashing it, I think that you will run in to some issues since a lot of the stuff that coreboot performs will already have been done and so could fail or misbehave.

Is Coreboot source code is a position independent code? I mean, will it be executed from any arbitrary location of the main memory?
Most of it, no.
Can it be revoked and correctly executed by a bootloader like Grub if I make a binary image of it and make necessary changes to be read by Grub?
It does not make sense to load coreboot from grub. You'd rather load Grub from coreboot.
