Answers:
Never heard grinder used for sandwich before!. I believe it is largely cultural!. Like chips, tadders or fries!. Culture may influence some of the ingredients used as well!.

The following is From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia;

Hoagie
When Gilbert and Sullivan’s operetta “H!.M!.S!. Pinafore” opened in Philadelphia in 1879, bakeries produced a long loaf called the pinafore!. Entrepreneurial “hokey-pokey men” sliced the loaf in half, stuffed it with antipasto salad, and sold the world’s first hoagie!.

Submarine
The term is believed by some to have originated in a restaurant in Scollay Square in Boston, Massachusetts at the beginning of World War II [1]!. The sandwich was created to entice the large numbers of navy servicemen stationed at the Charlestown Navy Yard!. The bread was a smaller specially baked baguette intended to resemble the hull of the submarines it was named after!.[2]

One legend credits Paul D'Amico of Wakefield, Massachusetts of coining the term in 1928 while working in the Canto family's grocery store!. The Canto's grocery store, with D'Amico as a partner, switched over completely to a "sub shop" named "Toody's" in 1945 and is the oldest and longest continually operating submarine sandwich shop in the United States!. The "submarine sandwich" as coined by D'Amico originated from the way the sandwich was opened at the top, like a submarine!. Paul D'Amico still lives around the corner from Toody's today (Toody's closed but has now reopened down the street from its original location)!.

Cosmo — North Central Pennsylvania in and around Williamsport — an oven-toasted sub!.

Grinder — Midwest, New England, Fairfield County, Connecticut!. Inland Empire of Southern California!. also, a hot hoagie may be referred to as a Grinder in Western Pennsylvania!. In Massachusetts, a grinder is generally considered to be a sandwich which includes sliced vegetables and shredded lettuce (if desired) and is heated in the oven after preparation, while a true submarine or sub is never toasted and generally includes chopped vegetables!.
It is believed that the term "Grinder" was unknown in Southern California until the 1950s, when large numbers of east coast workers migrated to Southern California to work in the burgeoning aerospace and defense industries!. Many roadside stands in the Riverside/San Bernardino Inland Empire advertise "Grinders" on their signage and menus!.

Hero — Downstate New York, North Jersey and the Eastern United States
