Unhappy A320 Throttle question(s)

In another thread the following is stated with respect to the A320:

"pushing the throttles to the TOGA position"

From what I have read, this position causes the A320 to believe you want to execute a missed approach (or take off???) and does the appropriate magic...

What is this position? Is it the end of their travel, or is it something different?

What has me quite curious is that I expect their are conditions for take off (although perhaps not for a go around) that may demand different engine power (noise restrictions?). How does the magic of the A320 handle this?
