[SalesForce] VF component dynamic inputField

I have the following component,

<apex:component >
<apex:attribute name="label" description="This is pretty name for this input" type="String" required="true"/>
<apex:attribute name="input" description="A one word description of this label" type="sObject" required="true"/>
<div class="form-group col-md-6">
  <label for="input" class="col-md-2 control-label">{!label}</label>
  <div class="col-md-6 form-control-wrapper">
    <apex:inputField styleClass="form-control" id="input" value="{!input}" />
    <span class="material-input"></span>
  </div>
</div>
</apex:component>

The problem is that I can not save this component. I get this error,

Error: Could not resolve the entity from value
binding '{!input}'. can only be used with SObjects,
or objects that are Visualforce field component resolvable.

I want this to be dynamic so that I can pass whatever value I want for the inputField and it will write the same markup every time. Does anyone know how to do this?

The value in the <apex:inputField> should always be associated with a field of a sobject. You could do something like this:

<apex:component>
    <apex:attribute name="inputObject" type="sObject" description="Object Name"/>
    <apex:attribute name="inputFieldName" type="String" description="Field Name"/>
    <apex:inputField value="{!inputObject[inputFieldName]}"/>
</apex:component>

[SalesForce] Getting the value of an inputField on the page

I would suggest just updating your component to:

<apex:outputPanel id="invoiceData">
    <c:invoiceDataComponent countryCode="{!Invoice__c.Country__c}" />
</apex:outputPanel>

I believe by adding the ActionSupport to your your code should already be updating the value on the controller, so when your component rerenders it should have the updated value.

[SalesForce] Issue displaying lookup inputField through wrapper class results

ISSUE 1 :
You are trying to bind an instance of Financial_Account__c to the inputField as per your wrapper class (your fa is type of Financial_Account__c). This doesn't make sense with an inputField. See the value attribute here in the documentation. You have to bind a field of an object as the value

ISSUE 2 :
You can directly bind the holdingResults list since the Financial_Account__c is a lookup.

<apex:pageBlockTable value="{!holdingResults}" var="mhItem" id="pgTable1">
    <apex:column headerValue="Financial Account" id="movetoaccount">
        <apex:inputField value="{!mhItem.Financial_Account__c}" />                    
    </apex:column>
</apex:pageBlockTable>

UPDATE : with the above code, you should be able to see a table like as below. pageblocktable
Retrieve all necessary fields from Holding__c obj according to the relationships in your query (Name,Financial_Account__c,Financial_Account__r.Name,etc.) and just set the Holding__c in your constructor (I don't see a value of setting the Financial_Account__c as well here). Then you can bind them in your VF page as below.

<apex:pageBlockTable value="{!holdingList}" var="mhItem" id="pgTable1">
    <apex:column headerValue="Financial Account" id="movetoaccount">
        <apex:inputField value="{!mhItem.maho.Financial_Account__c}" />                    
    </apex:column>
    <apex:column headerValue="Test" id="movetoaccount1">
        <apex:inputField value="{!mhItem.maho.Financial_Account__r.Name}" />                    
    </apex:column>
    <apex:column headerValue="Halding Name" id="movetoaccount2">
        <apex:inputField value="{!mhItem.maho.Name}" />                    
    </apex:column>
</apex:pageBlockTable>
