*Grace notes should be played quite subtlely (and omitted if they cause the player stress.) They always resolve to the note a step above them, and are meant to be played on the beat, like a Classical appoggiatura. The effect should be equivalent to a fiddle "hammer on" played simultaneously with an adjacent open string. So, all chord tones other than the resolving note should be played on the beat.
In m. 2, for example, the A and D should both be played on the beat, with the A resolving to the B a sixteenth after. In m. 14, the E and A should be played on the beat, with the E resolving to the F# a sixteenth after. In m. 18, the B grace note resolves to the C#, so the A, B, and E should all be played on the beat, with the resolving C# replacing the B a moment after.
