No. Silicon carbide is covalent.
Carbide has an ionic charge of -4
Calcium carbide is formed by ionic bonding.
Covalent
The bond between calcium and carbon in calcium carbide is an ionic bond.
Aluminum carbide contains two different kinds of atoms: aluminum and carbon. The formula unit or molecular formula for aluminum carbide is Al4C3.

Its Aluminium silicide
Yes, predominantly. BaC2 reacts with water to form ethene, (acetylene) as does calcium carbide.
When aluminum carbide reacts with water, the products of the reaction are aluminum hydroxide and methane gas. The balanced equation for this reaction is Al4C3 + 12H2O -->4Al(OH)3 + 3CH4(g)
Water does react with aluminum carbide. The metal actually decomposes in water and produces methane.
