Is it possible to user smaller 115mm or 125mm discs in the 230mm angle grinder? Reason I am asking is I want to get some smaller discs for raking out pointing and I don't want to spend money on new angle grinder for it.

Without checking the rpm limit on the smaller discs, I wouldn't. The torque alone on the bigger angle grinder is considerably more than the smaller models. If the disc were to bind there's a greater risk of the disc disintegrating. Also the disc guard will be in the way.
 
You can use discs as small as the grinder will take before they get to the guard

But you will be stupid to try and use a 9" grinder as a mortar rake for anything more than a few adhoc joints. If it catches or snatches, it will do you some serious damage
