Considering the other Location-targeting skills, as far as I get those include Glacial Hammer, right?
Yes, melee attacks can target a location or an enemy.
"
However there are as well spells like Portal (what else could it be if NOT location specific, as it summons a portal at some location)
It's self targeting. It summons a portal where the caster is, not at a targeted location. If it was location targeted, the portal end up where you clicked, not where you are (which might involve you moving into range, depending on the range the skill has).
"
Summon Raging Spirits (compared to other summoning spells, this one summons spirits at you location, which decide on their own where to go).
Summon Raging Spirit targets a location, and works like any other location-targeted skill, in that you walk into range if you're not in range. Because things are in-range if the spirits can get there, this range is huge and needing to walk to get there is rare, similar to projectile skills.
I'd presume Raging Spirits target a location because that functionality will automatically order them to move/attack near the targeted location; otherwise they'd meander around the caster until you cast something else to send them in for the kill. Far as I know they're Minions like Zombies and Spectres, in that they do not decide on their own what to do?

Yes. Because you're targeting an area when you cast them, they look around that area for targets, until you target somewhere else.
