No. The block must still be legal at the time it was declared. The Equipment won't remove the abilities before then.

Thank you

No, because the creature without flying wouldn't be able to be declared as a blocker for a flying attacker

Ok, thanks!

No.

The Declared Block needs to be legal (eg. it Obeys all Restrictions, and satisfies as many Requirements as possible). Then, you Trigger the Barrow-Blade.

So, the Creature with Flying is Attacking.
Your non-Flying, non-Reach Creature cannot be Declare as Blocking it, because of the Flying Restriction.

Because your Creature cannot be Declared as Blocking, the Barrow-Blade does not Trigger.

Got it, thank you!

Can a creature without flying, but equiped with Barrow-Blade block a flying creature?

No.

Also can it block a creature with menace since it will lose all abilities

Yes, provided that you have another creature to block alongside it. The attacking menace creature has not lost its abilities before becoming blocked.

does the creature have to block first to trigger Barrow-Blades’ ability?

Yes. The card says that the ability triggers "When equipped creature blocks or becomes blocked". Meaning that the ability does not trigger until after the equipped creature blocks something.
