Can demons affect the world on some physical level?

Demonology is the study of demons.
Basically it adds new avenues of contact than just the higher sources such as Gods/Godesses/elements etc.

Goetica is a term used to describe a practice that involves invoking demons or angels.

The terms "demon" or "angel" are slightly loaded, though. Think of it simply as summoning entities. Not every thing is evil or heavenly.

Demonology in general lines is working with Demons; it's also "fighting them" in meaning know what to do when you're in trouble with them. The basics for Demonology are the basics that are used in every (or almost every) magick practise.

Solomon has written a book. I don't know much about him, but people claim God has talked to him. It is claimed he bound 72 Demons on a ring, from many different types.. Solomon has made a grimorie, in this grimorie his way of summoning Demons through cirlces, and the information given about all 72 Demons (they're not all true, be carefull; which is called "The Goetia" or something like that.

That depends on the Demon. If you mean move objects and such then yes, it's possible. Strong Demons are also able to affect weather. If you mean something like whole houses and such, then no. Don't forget they're non-physical entities.

Where could I learn about Demonology? Any suggestions?
