Can I safely rename the cygdrive folder? Also, I would like to add other folders at root and map them to folders on windows in the same way as /cygdrive/c maps to my C drive. Is that possible?

Yes, you can. See The Cygwin Mount Table in Cygwin’s documentation. I have my documents folder mounted as /doc. These mounts end up in the registry and are retained across reboots etc.
