I´m thinking of setting up test sites/alpha versions of several websites on my localhost, perhaps as many as 20 if I want to test all my ideas in the drupal environment.

I´m going to create a database for each and run in same MySQL access, extract drupal into htdocs & rename the folder for each, and change the url in the appropriate .php file for each.

Is there anything wrong with doing it this way?
Any problems I might run into?

I can't see anything wrong. I do it the same way.

I use multisite for local sandbox to run all sites from one Drupal code base.

If I understand you correctly you use virtual
hosting and have many names that point to one database?

What if you want to move one of the sites to its own hosting space? Is
it not more work then to move it than if you create it´s own database
from start?

N.b. I have no experience in this area. Only bookwise here !:)
