The scenario:

doubt Is there any way that I can create some Linux iso installed for later installations?

Or create some of the tar / and then transfer it to disk "Create partition, create mbr, create grub, restore files"?

The 'rear' package from EPEL does exactly that. It will make a bootable iso/usb image with a script and the necessary tools to recreate your partitions/filesystems, restore a backup to it, and make it bootable. There are some options for the details of how the backup/restore are done. I've only used tar to an nfs export and rsync over ssh, but it might work directly to usb too.
