Take the S train from Grand Central to Times Square, and the the number 1 train from there to 103rd street. It's a relatively short walk from the 103rd street station. For your safety, you may be well advised to take a taxi once you exit the 103rd street station.
Grand central is not that far from the Empire State Building. You could walk it with no problem.
The easiest and nicest way to travel between these is by bus. There is a very fine service that has an office right across the street from Grand Central. The ride takes approximately 45 minutes and is quite comfortable and affordable. I have used the subway system and this bus service in the past for travel from LaGuardia.

Yes, the A train stops at the Port Authority Bus Terminal. All three of the trains on the blue line (the A, the C and the E) stop at 42nd Street-Port Authority Bus Terminal. There is also an underground tunnel connecting the 42nd Street-Port Authority stop on the A-C-E line to the 42nd Street-Times Square Station (since the A-C-E runs up and down 8th Avenue, while the Times Square Station is at 7th Avenue), so you can walk underground from the 42nd Street-Port Authority Station to the 42nd Street-Times Square Station, without exiting the subway system.
