The white wire on the top of the alternator goes directly to the under hood fuse box.

Yes. That wire goes directly to the fuse box under the hood. Screws into the fuse box with a standard head screw driver (philips)
The wire next to it that screws in the exact same way goes to the battery.
Its the wire that recharges the battery.
I believe it is split into 2 like this to remove the fuse box seperately along with the engine harness and the positive terminal if 1 of the 3 go bad for whatever reason.

Sounds like someone did a batt. relocation at some point, my guess it that ring terminal that is on the end of the alt. charge lead will fit the stud on the starter motor solenoid.

As mentioned the correct place is the engine bay fuse box, but it would also work going to the starter motor solenoid or the batt. pos.(+) post.

I would just install the proper size ring trerminal and connect it to the fuse box. 94

Yes, "nut on top of starter" where batt. cable is connected. 94
