is it possible to modify the snap node or access the grid it uses, to change it ?

Hmm, the snap's node functionality is written in Java. Currently it is impossible to change the implementation easily.
You can examine the code by looking at the Java source here, and the math implementation here.

Couldn't resist, and re-implemented the snap functionality in Python. That allows you to look at the implementation and change it.
There's no built-in text editor, but you can use an external editor, then press Command-R in NodeBox to reload the implementation.

I think I missed part of this but how do you get custom implementations/nodes into the system ?

The example .ndbx file already has this link.
The trick is to write a Python file, then in your NodeBox file, link to the code using File > Code Libraries…
Check out the example I sent you. It should work.
