Brake pads are grinding 2 days after replacing pads when coming to a stop it shakes the entire vehicle then sticks when accelerating?

Sounds like the caliber is sticking. I recommend you replace the front calibers and replace the brake fluid with fresh fluid from an unopened can. The shaking probably means the rotors are warped. Replace the rotors and brake pads along with the calipers on your front brakes you should be fine. I would suspect that your brake fluid has become contaminated with moisture. This moisture will cause the calibers to rust and stick. Make sure you tighten the lug nuts to the torc specifications recommended for your vehicle. Over tightening the Lugnuts will warp the rotors.
ANS 2 - If I had that happening 2 days after a change, I'd be looking very seriously about something being done wrongly. Possibly the pads are not fitted properly or are the wrong pattern.

What is the grinding noise on a megane 2?
It depends on where the grinding noise is coming from. Most of the time the grinding is coming from the brakes and the brake pads need to be replaced. If they've been grinding for a while, the rotors will need to be resurfaced or replaced. Other possibilities for grinding are worn axle bearings, or a problem with the clutch. If the clutch goes out, there will be a grinding noise when you try to shift gears.

A grinding noise heard after replacing brake pads and caliper?
Chances are one of the pads was not mounted properly, causing it to slip out of place and grind against the rotor. Remove the tire in which the grinding is coming from. Check pad placement. If they are indeed aligned properly, maybe try having your rotors machined. Hope this helps. ~Trina~
