I removed the grout around the tile to be replaced and removed all the grout in the other joint that was cracking. My question is, and I read somewhere, that the removal should extend into the next joint about 1/2 way. In other words, don't end on a corner as they're more susceptible to damage after regrouting Is this correct.

It doesn't hurt to take a little more grout than is needed to remove a single tile. If you did stop grout removal at a corner it wouldn't be the end of the world. Why would that have an effect on future cracking? That's crazy stuff.

Grout cracking because something wrong with a subfloor.

Not necessarily true. Grouts can crack for reasons other than "
something wrong with the subfloor".

It doesn't really matter how you will go into next joint if the strength is a concern- it is all about appearance.

Good Lord! It
is about appearance but it is also about proper installation techniques.
