other element above mapview

General

Isn’t there any chance that an element with its children to be displayed above a mapView without being the mapView’s child?

You can have that. The only requirement is for that element to be inside of the same NativeViewHost as the MapView:

<NativeViewHost>
    <Panel />
    <MapView />
</NativeViewHost>

My issue is very similiar to this one, so I don’t want to open a new thread for this.

I have a Page within my Navigator and below a Grid for my Navigaton:

<Navigator>
  <Page>
    <ScrollView>
        <!-- Some Content -->
      <NativeViewHost>
         <MapView />
      <NativeViewHost/>
    </ScrollView>
  </Page>
</Navigator>

<Grid Alignment="Bottom" ColumnCount="2">
  <Panel Column="0" />
  <Panel Column="1" />
</Grid>

When scrolling through the content of my page, the MapView is being placed above my Navigation-Grid.
Is there any solution in solving this without wrapping the NativeViewHost around my complete structure?

No, a NativeViewHost will always be rendered on top of everything else.
