Yesterday in a Dragonlance campaign (1st session for a new DM, didn't go too well), the PCs ended up trying to murder each other. Two of the PCs (A silvanesti elf [myself] and a minotaur monk) demanded that the half-ogre PC drop his weapon.

The PC half-ogre didn't drop his weapon but rather asked the other two PCs what the hell their problem was. Unfortunately that counted as non-compliance so the minotaur grappled him and pinned him. The elf demanded once again that he release his weapon to the ground.

Meanwhile, the PC kender (the half-ogre's companion) charged and attacked the minotaur who was busy grappling the half-ogre.

Are there any special rules for attacking into a grapple?

Yes, if you attack with a ranged weapon you have a 50/50 chance of hitting either grappler possibly adjusted by size.

There are no special rules for attacking with melee into a grapple, other than the normal one that the grapplers loose thier dex bonus against you.

y'know a fireball breaks up a grapple on both sides really nicely.
