Once you have placed a flat Marquee in the 3D Window, there will be an option to Render Marquee Region and Crop, which will render just the cropped area and matches the full render.
1. rendering a cropped area - while doing it, let's say to change only a part of the whole image, the perspective is never the same, it means we cannot render just a part of the image and overlay it again to a previously full window rendered image. Does anyone know why is that ? if you want to change some detail in the render you have to render the whole image again. very useful and unprofessional. (think about vray/mental ray etc not mentioning 'render elements'.)

You should add a Signature to your Profile (click the Profile button near the top of this page) with your ArchiCAD version and operating system (see mine for an example) for more accurate help in this forum.

To make sure perspectives match up between renders check the following things:
1. Save your work environment, this is to ensure the 3D window is the same size between renders. You can allways re-apply the saved work environment to be sure that it is. The size (width) of the 3D window is of influence to the perspective that is rendered.
2. Enable 'Apply Render Safe Frame'.
3. Save a camera and allways use that camera for the render by opening it (double click) before rendering. Camera also saves your sun position (for lighting purposes).
Regarding TIFF format: I'm not sure if it works properly with high accuracy colour and transparancy, you may have to use PNG for transparancy to work. Note that you only need this if you plan to replace the background image from your render with something else in post production.
Edit: rather than saving out the image for post production, you can also select all in the rendered image tab in ArchiCAD and copy and paste to your image editor. That's how we do post in photoshop in our office. Not sure if that works with replacing background, since we don't do that.

I always publish renders from saved views which incorporate the view settings, render engine settings and the pixel dimensions of the view and have not had issues such as yours regarding the image size shift for a partial render.
Comparing ARCHICAD to a dedicated rendering package such as 3D Studio Max is not really a fair comparison, how well does 3D Studio do with preparing a set of drawings & schedules? The renders out of ARCHICAD are good enough for probably 95+% of all users, with probably 90% of users never really even approaching the limits of the rendering in AC.
Regards,
Scott

Rendering on different computers with potentially different size 3D window will allways yield a different perspective.
You may not like it, but that's how the software works.
You can try 'minimizing' the 3D window and setting a fixed 3D window size before rendering.
The marquee will likely not be pixel perfect though, so that might cause slight issue with lining up (but not to the extreme of your screenshot).
I mostly use marquee and partial renders to test out settings.
