This will help with the moving part: http://www.daniweb.com/software-development/vbnet/threads/343625/runtime-draggable-panel

And this should give you some ideas with the "snap-to-grid" function: http://www.xtremevbtalk.com/showthread.php?t=236354

And last, I think that you can create the dragging icon by simply modifying the mouse cursor.
Here's an article on how to accomplish that: http://www.codeproject.com/Articles/33789/Custom-Mouse-Cursors-VB-NET
