In case that's helpful, the following patch seems to solve the
second issue (not sure if it may have unwelcome side-effects):
I just made this

but Wolfgang has to double check it for side effects.
This has negative side effects for captions in the margin areas
(rightmargin, leftmargin, innermargin and outermargin) which use the
same macro. As a result you get large vertical gaps in the document.
I wondered if it should be keyword driven? But what keyword?
The only existing keyword which makes sense is maxheight but fitheight
or autoheight (both aren't used yet) are better names.
ok, so now we have this:
\setupcaption[figure][location={right,fitheight}]
\starttext
\placefigure{\input{ward}}{\framed[height=5cm]{figure 1}}
\placefigure{\input{ward}}{\framed[height=5cm]{figure 2}}
\placefigure{\input{ward}}{\framed {figure 3}}
\placefigure{\input{ward}}{\framed {figure 4}}
\stoptext
