I can't help you for the proxy issue but I can explain you how I proceed  
for the OGC filter (thanks to Phil Scadden) and the GridPanel. I did it  
few days ago.

First, you define a classic WFS protocol, without OGC filter. Then, you  
create a draw handler that allows the user to draw a polygon in the map  
for example. This draw control is inside a selection control. Then, you  
apply the WFS protocol and the OGC filter to this control:

        polygonSelectControl.events.register("featureadded", this, function (e) 
{
                WFSprotocol.read({
                        filter: new OpenLayers.Filter.Spatial({
                                type: OpenLayers.Filter.Spatial.INTERSECTS,
                                distance: 1,
                                distanceUnits: "meters",
                                value: e.feature.geometry
                        }),
                        callback: processSpatialQuery
                        //scope: strategy
                });
        });

Then, in the callback function, you can store the WFS response in a  
featureStore:

        function processSpatialQuery(response){
                var feat = response.features;
                featureStore.loadData(feat);    
        }

Finally, this featureStore is used by a classic GridPanel.

If you don't need a draw tool, I think you can directly add the OGC filter  
in the WFS protocol definition.
