Re: which is the correct grammar for this sentence? The second statement is correct.
IN is used when you specify a range (like a whole week, in the second case)
ON is used when you mention a particular specific point in time (like a date or a time)
"Reaching IN time" means you may also have reached earlier. "Reaching ON time" means that you had reached just in time.

Re: which is the correct grammar for this sentence? The second one is correct. This is because "on" refers to a singular object (for example "on March 2nd") and "in" can refer to a variety of subjects.

Re: which is the correct grammar for this sentence? The second, although the better sentence would be "The store will be moving during the first week of March"

Re: which is the correct grammar for this sentence? Neither preposition is necessary. This works:
The store will be moving the first week of March.
