not sure you can find it in TFM but this awful construction seems to do what
you're looking for (note that the tweak comes /before / the grace note):

{
  e'2-1
  \parenthesize
  -\tweak ParenthesesItem.color #green
  -\tweak ParenthesesItem.font-size #5
  -1 \slashedGrace gs8
  a2 -2
}

personally I prefer this solution where you can write the tweaks after the
grace note (as usual) despite the fact that you have to put it in a chord:

{
  e'2-1 \slashedGrace {
    < gs
    -\tweak ParenthesesItem.color #green
    -\tweak ParenthesesItem.font-size #5
    \parenthesize -1 
    >8
  }
  a2 -2
}
