Why remapping key to causes Vim to behave weird?
nnoremap <End> <S-A> " line comment
Pressing End key then produces the desired effect but vim also appends " line comment to the end of the line!
Is there any way to kinda let vim know where nnoremap directive ends?

This is a common pitfall. After :map, everything is taken as the right-hand side. I would recommend to place the comment on a separate line:
" line comment
nnoremap <End> <S-A>
But if you really want to stick with the trailing comments, you can employ the default command separation (with |, with in a mapping has to be either escaped | or written as <Bar>) to append a separate comment "command":
nnoremap <End> <S-A>| " line comment
PS: Instead of <S-A>, you can simply write A :help key-notation.

Thanks, @IngoKarkat, using pipe symbol worked! Weird though, escaping the pipe symbol actually breaks the trick for me. Using <Bar> instead of pipe doesn't work either. I use nvim.

Yes,<Bar>or|is for when you want to include the remainder in the mapping, which here is not what you want, so you have to use|here. But it's more common the other way around, that's why I mentioned that as well.
