I don't understand this step--why are you moving windows? Linux doesn't care where it is on the disk, so you should be able to just shrink the windows partition and continue from there.
You might be able to do it all with one EFI partition.
You generally can have multiple boot entries, each with its own path to a bootloader (.efi file) on the EFI partition. In some cases a (buggy) system will only boot from /EFI/BOOT/BOOTX64.EFI but that's rare these days.
