Making a map layout program in vs for a popular andriod game

Question

Okay,
I'm just starting to get into c# programming in vs, and I've run into some problems with what I am trying to create.
Purpose of it.
1. Let my guild mates enter in their numbers (see below picture)
2. When they hit to map it brings up another form that has a picture-box that is 57x57 cube squares that I made in excel.
3. When it goes to the other form, I want it to pull the info from what they entered and.....
       A. Make X amount of moveable objects from what they enter in, so they can play with their map (the excel pic)
       B. Each item has its own size, some are 1x1 squares, all the way up to 6x6
4. When they click attack range (button) I would like it to put a red circle around the defensive towers with their given attack range, some are 3 square radius, ect ect
Problems that If anyone could help with would be awesome...
1. How do I make moveable objects? (i can either grab a picture of the tower/building but I think the size might be an issue or just use square blocks and color code them)
2. How would I do the button for attack range? (basically just want to throw a circle around the picture/block to give the user an idea of where he is weak)
Below is a picture of what I have so far (sorry its in a link)

        private void btnEXIT_Click(object sender, EventArgs e)
            //QUITS PROGRAM
            System.Environment.Exit(-1);
        private void btnMAP_Click(object sender, EventArgs e)
        private void frmMAPSELF_Load(object sender, EventArgs e)
Thank you everyone who read this giant wall of text....

Hello,
>>1. How do I make moveable objects? (i can either grab a picture of the tower/building but I think the size might be an issue or just use square blocks and color code them)
It will depends on how that map is and how did you get these objects displayed inside that picturebox.
But for moving and resizing controls, you could refer to the following samples.
Move controls on a form at runtime
Move and Resize Controls on a Form at Runtime (With Mouse)
The first sample is easy to use that we just use that class and pass controls to that property, but I would recommend you try the second, because it seems it will fit your project better.
>>2. How would I do the button for attack range? (basically just want to throw a circle around the picture/block to give the user an idea of where he is weak)

>>2. When they hit to map it brings up another form that has a picture-box that is 57x57 cube squares that I made in excel.
I noticed that it needs to pass parameter to another form, then you could consider adding a field or property to the target form, and when showing that form, just pass the parameter to that field or property.
Passing Data Between Forms
You could consider just passing the main form instance follow one of the ways shared in the sample above.
