No problem. You just need to know that this list is not the right place
to report bugs to Debian Developers, that's what the BTS is for
(bugs.debian.org). But anyway, you mail's content suits this list very
well.

Bugs about failed installations should be reported against the
pseudo-package debian-installer. The wheezy installer is probably
expected to be quite unstable these days as squeeze has just been
released a few weeks ago. If you need a stable release, pick squeeze.
That doesn't have to keep you from trying wheezy, of course. But if it
fails, please try to be constructive instead of demanding.

During installation you can switch to alternate VTs using Alt-F<x>,
where <x> is a number from 1-6. One of the consoles should contain an
error message which would help in diagnosing the problem.

If grub failed to install during system installation, a missing
grub-install doesn't surprise me. :) What you could try is installing
the deb file for grub from the installation DVD after chrooting to your
new system.

Oh, you already did that. Great! :)

Menu.lst is grub-legacy, you need a /boot/grub/grub.cfg. You can
regenerate is by running update-grub (as with grub-legacy).

Ok, that's a separate issue. Please try to use one thread per issue,
that makes it easier for people to follow / ignore topics.

If you want us to help with that and the eth0 issue, it would help if
you posted information regarding the hardware in use and what your
configuration files look like. You cannot blindly assume your old config
files will work with a new Debian release either, although that's
generally the case.
Regarding the wifi issue, I assume you are just missing a firmware
package. Take a look at dmesg output, you may find a message in there
about this very topic.

Then don't use wheezy. Or install squeeze first and then upgrade to
wheezy.
