I can see how to insert a row and where you can specify how many rows to add.  It automatically adds the new row to the next open row below.  Is there a way to insert the row above the row your curser is currently on?

No, the Insert New Row Into Grid action will only insert a new row at the bottom of your grid.

I'll throw in 2 cents here.

How the records show up in a grid is related to the grid sort order.  By default the sort order is based on record id.  So, when a new record is created it is generally shown at the bottom of the grid.  This can be altered by modifying the grid sort order.  

I appreciate you giving me another option, and that might be exactly what I need in another situation.  I maybe missing something here but I can't see how changing the sort order would allow me to insert a new row in a specific place.  It looks like it would allow me to order by Record ID or Item ID, etc. but still not my choosen insertion point.  Please go into more detail if you think I am missing something here.

Depending on the importance of the feature.  There are 2 different approaches you could consider. You could add a field to the table that would contain the sort order or you could insert a new record (higher record id) then you could re-insert & delete the records with the smaller record id.  The later would have the effect of re-sorting the grid.

If I choose to use the first option of adding a sort field to the table - have you used that with group items?  The client uses group items and in one template they need the detail printed and in another template they just print the group item name.  So I am wondering if this would make it a complex piece to figure out.  If they did not have group items or if you have worked with this using group items and it does not add a lot of complexity then it would be worth working on.  Thank you for your input.
