Answer 1

After trying to manually uninstall, and then downloading another copy of the VS 2015 community installer for use with the force uninstall command line argument (Original answer by Michael Schuchardt), I was still unable to modify the install directory.

After testing further, I found that Unity (which integrates with Visual Studio as of Unity 5.2) also had to be removed. At this point Visual Studio Uninstaller (link to latest release on Github) can be used for the final removal of remaining any remaining components.

You will now be able to run the Visual Studio Installer and select a directory or, alternatively, run the install from command line using the "/CustomInstallPath ..." argument.
