It's lot of work to do. However, I will try to add some relevant link for you to guide you to right direction.

Follow these great tutorials:

1. Custom field in order page
2. Creating Custom grid - Once you add a new table/attribute (in 1) then can add this field to appear in custom grid

In order to add these fields in invoices, you will need to rewrite few phtml and block classes. Learn rewriting classes here.

To be able to add this field in print invoice (pdf invoice), you will need to learn magento pdf functions. You can learn here.

It's lot of work. Hope it will help and good luck.
