@peregrine thanks for your great assist, I really appreciate your effort and I must say that I've learned a lot from this discussion alone. I will get to the bottom of this and post the solution here as soon as I do.
@peregrine I managed to do it. Thanks a lot for everything!
I created a fresh install, added all categories & extra roles to mimic my old db;
Exported my old db (minus the two tables GDN_Permission and GDN_Role), imported it into my new install;
Applied my theme (added lines to custom.css) and created locale.php;
Enabled plugins, imported applications (with afferent tables eg Yaga Reaction etc);
Everything is now working as expected, but one thing:
I cannot seem to make my new install (root/folder) go to root (I did follow your advice and changed these lines accordingly:
$Configuration['Database']['Name'] = '... $Configuration['Database']['Host'] = ... $Configuration['Database']['User'] = '... $Configuration['Database']['Password'] = ...
Cleared cache, ran utility/update and it still shows the old db when I access my website.
@UnderDog thanks for your message, I appreciate it.
Everything is working perfectly now, thanks again @peregrine !
Can I delete the other db now?

great, as long as you don;t delete the wrong db you should be fine.
I may not provide the completed solution you might desire, but I do try to provide honest suggestions to help you solve your issue.
