(See the best response by Kaiochao.)
Code:
mob
    proc
        updategrid()
            for(var/mob/them in world)
                winset(src, "playerlist", "current-cell=1, [them]")
                world << output(them, "playerlist")
                winset(src, "playerlist", "current-cell=2, [them.level]")
                world << output("Lvl: [them.level]", "playerlist")
        party()
            for(var/obj/minion in party)
                winset(src, "partylist", "current-cell=1, [minion]")
                world << output(minion, "partylist")
                winset(src, "partylist", "current-cell=2, [minion.level]")
                world << output("Lvl: [minion.level]", "partylist")


The grids only show the 1st player/minion and nothing else. How do I make it show the whole list?

Take a look at the skin reference again. current-cell takes the format XxY, not x,y. Also, you can use output() to send output to a specific cell.
output("text", "grid:row,column")

mob
    proc
        party()
            for(var/obj/minion in party)
                world << output(minion, "partylist:[partysize],1")
                world << output("Lvl: [minion.level]", "partylist:[partysize],2")


I do this now but still have the same problem. The var partysize increases by +=1 everytime the verb that calls this proc is called, and partysize increases before the proc is called.

You're outputting every minion to one cell, located at [partysize],1 and ,2.
This is probably what you want; a vertical list:
var n
for(var/obj/minion in party)
    n ++
    world << output(minion, "partylist:[n],1")
    world << output("Lvl: [minion.level]", "partylist:[n],2")

I tried that and everything is still going all to the same cell. Are you sure there's not anything missing?

The grid also needs to not be a flexible list.
