    It doesn't.
    yes, usually, /dev/sda1 is mounted as /boot and that is the efi system partition where linux puts grub and windows puts windows boot manager
    It would help if you said which distro you're using because each distro will do things slightly differently.
     
    I'm not sure I fully understand... could you post the contents of your /etc/fstab ?

    For uefi, the boot partition should always be the first partition on the drive (probably /dev/sda1 or similar in your case) and unfortunately you cannot have two seperate uefi partitions on the same drive. So your /dev/sdb5 cannot be used for /boot/efi.
     
    So you're solution is either to have your linux and windows installs on two seperate hdds/ssds or to let them continue to share the same uefi partition as before.
