Trying to get rid of auto display of section numbers within text (section title only), but still have a header that gives the section title (also sans number). Can't seem to find this in memoir docs. In other words, I want some of the behavior of \section and some of \section*

As a personal preference, I would forego the use of \maketitle in favour of having a little more freedom in typesetting the different style of the title page and what follows. In that regard, consider the following:
\documentclass[a4paper,11pt]{article}
\usepackage[utf8x]{inputenc}
\usepackage{lipsum}% http://ctan.org/pkg/lipsum
\usepackage{fancyhdr}% http://ctan.org/pkg/fancyhdr
\usepackage{mathptmx}
\pagestyle{fancy}
% Global fancy header style
\lhead{}
\chead{}
\rhead{Name, Title, Section}
\renewcommand{\headrulewidth}{0.4pt}
\renewcommand{\footrulewidth}{0.4pt}
\setlength{\headheight}{14.5pt}
\begin{document}
% Set fancy header style for title page only (local fancy header style)
\fancypagestyle{titlepage}{
\lhead{Name of Grant Council}% Grant name
\rhead{}% Remove global (right) header
\renewcommand{\headrulewidth}{0pt}
\renewcommand{\footrulewidth}{0pt}
}
\thispagestyle{titlepage}
\begingroup
\centering \Huge
Name\\Grant\\Research proposal\\Part B\\Title\\Acronym\\Length\\
\endgroup
\section*{test}
\lipsum[1-20]
\end{document}
The "title" is typeset using \centering\Huge, so there's no bold. Headings are set for the first page under the fancy style titlepage, that modifies only the title page headings (via \thispagestyle{titlepage}) - that is, this is a local change. The lipsum package was included merely to populate the document with some dummy text.
Of course, spacing after the heading can be adjusted as required (using, say, \bigskip or other vertical spacing techniques).
To control the level up to which sectional units will be numbered, you can use \setsecnumdepth{<sectional unit>}; to color the sectional unit numbers, you can use \setsecnumformat:
\documentclass[openany]{memoir}
\usepackage{xcolor}
\setsecnumformat{\color{blue}\csname the#1\endcsname\quad}
\setsecnumdepth{subsubsection}
\begin{document}
\chapter{Foo}
\section{blah}
\section{stuff}
\subsection{more stuff}
\subsubsection{even more stuff}
\end{document}

\setsecnumformatto be empty (this suppresses the numbering for the titles in the body) and redefine\sectionmarkappropriately (to suppress the numbering from the headings); for example:
