I agree with Gerhard.  There doesn't appear to be a Grabina to the north of 
Radom.  If you can give us coordinates or nearby villages, perhaps we can 
find your reference and comment further.

Again I agree with Gerhard that these appear to be the same.  However, it 
seems significant that the first is missing the Cyrillic character "y" (= 
u) which is in the second.  The only possible fit in the region seems to be 
Pludnica, about 20 km S of Radom but the ending is not quite right.

And once again I agree with Gerhard.  There are several places in the 
region where Wola acts as a prefix adjective to a place name.  While it can 
stand alone, I do not see that in this region.
