16/32 units should be fine, it's hard to tell from your pic.

Use "[" and "]" to change the grid size (you'll see it in the bottom right). Shift-W toggles match-to-grid; make sure it's on.

ok i've fixed it lol, i downloaded the vmf and had a look in hammer - and it had me stumped for a while since everything was placed correctly etc etc - that was until i moved the outer walls around a little - and slap bang in the middle of the entire level is a 1024x1024x384 solid block - deleting this block will fix your problems.
