Update: yes you will soon be able to create a P-Max campaign in a Google Ad Grant campaign. It was announced today at the Google.org Impact Summit that P-Max is being rolled out to grants accounts over the next few months. So keep an eye open for the new campaign type.

My initial information is that this will enable placement of ads across the entire Google network, not just search ads, so P-Max will work in grants accounts just as it does in paid accounts.

Short answer: no. You can't. Only Search ads.
 
Suggest you read the Ad Grant basic guidelines at https://support.google.com/grants/topic/9855140?hl=en&ref_topic=3500091

Can we assume that P-Max will be available in all countries where Ad grants is available (location of the NPO)?

Yes.

But I have to clarify something. I reached out to Google and they confirmed that this won't be multi-placement, at least not at first. P-Max in Ad Grants will be search only. Still potentially useful... just not game-changing.

the reason, why google is offering PMAX for Ad Grants, might be that Google is transforming smart campaigns into PMAX:
