How much weight can a grid wall hold?

This is the item in question

The results I've found all say "they can hold a lot", I'm planning on putting up tile displays which can get pretty heavy but the weight will be distributed throughout the whole panel. Anyone have any idea how much weight it can safely hold?

I'm sure it depends on the make or brand you get. As with any product you'll find higher and lower qualities depending on how much you want to pay. Best bet is to check the individual product pages.

I'm definitely no builder or DIY'er or anything but my guess is it depends on how it's mounted to the wall and what type of wall it is. A few screws in drywall anchors obviously won't hold as much as being directly bolted to studs.

I'm guessing it'll all depend on how it's anchored to the wall.

Will it be freestanding or anchored to the wall?

I want to use some anchored to the wall and make square columns 4x4x8

I would think the manufacturer should be able to tell you that.
