Changing grub to be on the partition with RHEL is probably why it's booting straight to the windows bootlader which is forcing you to do the bootloading the hard way. Installing grub to a partition rather than MBR is for people who have some other bootloader that is expected to be able to chainload to grub. Windows can, but it's the harder way of the two.
It sounds like you haven't really used the RHEL side yet, so I would just do another install but this time leaving grub at the MBR. The RHEL installer should automatically pick up on the fact that you're dual booting and configure the menu option for booting into windows for you, which is why this is the easier way to go: nothing else to do after the install.
