menu-bar-non-minibuffer-window-p is used to check whether a menu item
should be enabled, so indeed this is not needed in kill-this-buffer
that should work with just (window-minibuffer-p (frame-selected-window)).

But I still believe that exiting the active minibuffer by kill-this-buffer
makes sense only in the context of menu-bar/tool-bar where the same icon
can be shared to do two different things: either exit the minibuffer
or kill the current buffer.  I can't imagine why anyone would want to do
this with kill-current-buffer bound to the same key when there is already
the special key C-g and also keyboard-escape-quit to exit the minibuffer.
