npm install installs package for use in current project. if you do npm install foo in ~/projects/a and then try to use foo package in ~/projects/b you'll get error as it won't be visible.
npm install . all it does is installing dependencies (into ./node_modules) of project you're currently at. Dependencies are read from package.json file. In other words npm install . means - make project I'm at, ready for use.

According to your environment, it's quite understood that you want to share same node binary. I wonder how it should be resolved (?)
I can think now of two ways, one is to override setting for global path for modules (if it's possible, I'm just guessing), so it doesn't try to install globally packages where node lives but somewhere within your user path. Other way would be, is that you all agree with which node version you work and each of you have same version installed locally.
