You need to size the grid to fit the image. I modified your example to
put your grid in another grid and moved the script to onRender. Also
make sure the image is in the resource folder or in the same directory
as the report.
See attached.

Styles can only be changed in the beforeFactory, so that is probably to
early if you want to changed based on data. It is not to late if you
want to change based on parameter. To drop the image from the grid you
could always use this.getStyle().backgroundImage = ""; in the onRender
script.

We have a small primer on scripting at:
http://www.eclipse.org/birt/phoenix/deploy/reportScripting.php
We need to expand this.
When you change styles in the before factory you are using the DE API
and we have a lot of examples and even a webinar on this api at
BIRT-exchange.org. Here is an example
//beforeFactory
importPackage(Packages.org.eclipse.birt.report.model.api);
importPackage(Packages.org.eclipse.birt.report.model.api.elements);
reportContext.getDesignHandle().findStyle("report").setProperty(StyleHandle.FONT_FAMILY_PROP,
"Arial");
reportContext.getDesignHandle().findStyle("report").setProperty(
StyleHandle.COLOR_PROP, "#009B9B" );
reportContext.getDesignHandle().findStyle("report").setProperty(
StyleHandle.FONT_WEIGHT_PROP, DesignChoiceConstants.FONT_WEIGHT_BOLD );
//background image
reportContext.getDesignHandle().findStyle("NewStyle").setBackgroundImage( ""
);
//or use
reportContext.getDesignHandle().findStyle("report").setProperty(
StyleHandle.BACKGROUND_IMAGE_TYPE_PROP, "" );
