I don't think they can choose, from what I know olympic quotas in marathon swimming are nominal

Yah, I just realized after I posted this.  I have been away for awhile and I am just catching up on results from earlier competitions from the worlds.

So, if Grangeon gets injured, does it mean Muller cannot take her place? Even if theoretically she's the next in line? (Well, if this is the case, the next in line would be Olasz, I guess.)

Taken directly from the qualification system:

I assume that an injury will be considered as a decline of the quota so in case the world qualifier will count. But even more easily, in case an athlete gets injured the Olympic quota is simply lost and may not be reallocated

What a surprise IOC is stupid then. It's rather clearly open water swimming
