What step did Lincoln announce after the Battle of Antietam and what did this force foreign countries to do?
After the Battle of Antietam, Lincoln announced the Emancipation Proclamation. This discouraged foreign governments from recognizing the Confederacy, because Lincoln had, with the proclamation, made the confederacy the poster child of slavery, and the people of the foreign countries that were considering recognizing the confederacy didn't want to be associated with the pro-slavery side of anything.

No. It did not abolish slavery anywhere except in places beyond the control of the Union Army (which meant that de facto, nobody was emancipated). The Emancipation Proclamation was made primarily to prevent France and the United Kingdom from siding with the Confederacy in the American Civil War. The Union knew that fighting alongside a country supporting slavery against an anti-slavery country would be untenable for both of those countries.
Did the focus of the war shifted during issuing the emancipation proclamation?
Not in the eyes of the Northerners it was officially aimed at. The mid-term elections showed that they were largely uninterested.

After the Proclamation was issued, free countries abroad could not aid the Confederates without looking pro-slavery themselves.
In which places was slavery still legal after the Emancipation Proclamation?
