CMake will search module path beginning with CMAKE_MODULE_PATH content
then standard location such that setting CMAKE_MODULE_PATH
will only change cmake-files you provide.
Other will comes from standard CMake install.

Yes it is true.
This means you want a (good to me) change to the CMake provided
NSIS template.
You should file a Request Feature for this (may be with a proposed
template).

Like I said this will overwrite "only" your specific files found
in your CMAKE_MODULE_PATH not other.
