I would like to add an effect to some of my projects I'm currently working on in photoshop but I have no idea how. The effect I'm looking for is the effect you would see on an old CD cover. Everything is grainy and somewhat green and pixelated. This may or may not be a multiple step effect I do not know. If anyone knows how to do this in a more in-depth way than just turning the noise up on everything that would be amazing!

Here are some examples below.

What you see in your images is called Halftone. Read here: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Halftone

This printing technique was used for centuries and changed when digital photography and digital printing were invented.
If this effect can be done with Photoshop I don't know, but if you're patient some Guru will come along and help you.
In the meantime I'll give it a try myself.

No, you have to apply the filter to each layer.
Or you can flatten the layers when you've finished your job, and then apply the filter once.
