Did you boot kali live in UEFI? Why are you using 32-bit version of kali?

No I didn't. I used legacy.
How can you tell its 32 bit? I'm on a 64 bit machine. I'm not sure why I would have downloaded wrong version. I recall download site being confusing and not very clear.
Are you sure Live cd will work on 64 bit because you know I had trouble installing 64 bit on UEFI? I know we are not installing it here but still...

grub-install /dev/sda
Should they be anything after the "a" in sda in the code you provided above?
example like:
sda*
sda**
or is it actually just meant to be plain "sda".

Don't use legacy mode. Switch to UEFI. Download kali-linux-2017-W16-amd64.iso from here http://cdimage.kali.org/kali-images/kali-weekly/ . Create a bootable USB of GPT partition scheme for UEFI using rufus. Then boot into kali live and run the process. The i386 is 32-bit image. amd64 is 64-bit image.
It should be grub-install /dev/sda where /dev/sda is the name of your hard disk.
Optional choice: Throw your DVD. It won't let you do the work. Get yourself familiar with the bootable USBs and UEFI firmwares.

I put a brand new usb stick into the pc then
I downloaded Kali weekly to hard drive and
I downloaded Rufus
I put a brand new usb stick into the pc then
In Rufus:
I clicked Rufus and selected
iso image and
set it to FAT 32 and for partition scheme and target type I set it to
GPT partition scheme for uefi (and I also tried mbr partition scheme for BIOS or UEFI)
I wasn't able to save the weekly iso to the new usb stick with Rufus
When using UEFI target type, only EFI bootable iso images are
supported. Please select an EFI bootable ISO or set target type to BIOS.
