Because joomla doesn't provide a way to get the params by module id (mostly
you don't have the module title!!) I get it from the table directly
$db = JFactory::getDbo();
$query = $db->getQuery(true);
$query->select('m.*');
$query->from('#__modules AS m');
$query->where('id = '.JRequest::getInt('moduleid'));
$db->setQuery($query);
$module = $db->loadObject();
$params = new JRegistry($module->params);
I also don't like to get it form the database rather than via API, but I
was searching up and down for a function to get the params by module id via
API.

IMHO it's not possible to use module parameters from another extension. Wich module? You can have a couple of them if the user clicks on the Duplicate button. You do not have any unique identifier, On a private site you can hardcode it but not for a general solution. I guess you'll need a small backend component to set the needed general parameters.

Using module params from one module would work for a specific design, as to
get the specific module instance you have to set type of module and title,
but if the user has 2 modules, or if the user changes the module title,
this will not work.
Obviously solution provided by Allon Moritz will work too, as far as you
know the specific module id.
All best!!
I think it would be better to set these parameters in a component. This way
you guarantee that not matter what user makes with the module, your
parameters will remain the same.
