Where it installs is controlled by what options you gave ./configure. Try ./configure --help if you're curious.

First thing I was confused because package on that website or even gnome ftp site is glib and NOT glib-devel. So, I hope the package 'glib' itself is correct.
Most binary distros split packages into base and -dev versions to save space, since the headers, objects, etc. aren't needed to run the libraries and executables, just compile with them. They are needed to compile using the library, so they're optionally available.

Having built glib from source, there is no base and -dev package, just one source tarball. 'make install' installs everything, headers included. Usually, anyway. Not all makefiles are the same.

And, secondly now that I have installed glib-2.24.2 using default ./configure options, will it mess up any part of the system or it will still be compatible with old glib-devel?
From the log it looks to have safetly installed everything under /usr/local, even the headers. Hooray for sane defaults. Your users ought to be able to use it there, though they'll need to give these extra header and library search paths the compiler and linker (and maybe point their executables to the right library paths by exporting LD_LIBRARY_PATH before running them).
