Would I put the MoCA in front of the Cable Modem?
The cable modem would connect to the coax line coming into your home. The MoCA adapter would connect to the cable modem over Ethernet. The MoCA adapter would then connect to the household coax. A second MoCA adapter would connect between the coax line in the room with the Mac mini and the Mac mini, itself.
Note that cable TV signals sometimes need to be actively filtered to coexist with MoCA signals on the same lines so this *may* not work if you need to push TV signals on the same lines. Also, your splitters need to be two-way and up to recent standards in order to work with MoCA adapters. You may need to replace one or more splitters. And you'll need to split the coax going to each TV or set top box in a room where you want to place a MoCA adapter, so will need compliant splitters for that purpose.

I'm curious why you aren't considering Powerline Ethernet.
