Can you activate Defense Draw after an Ancient Gear monster inflicts battle damage to prevent you from taking damage?

I am fairly sure you cannot activate "Defense Draw" after an opponent's Ancient Gear monster inflicts Battle Damage in order to reduce the damage to 0 and draw a card. Here's why:
First of all, this scenario is referring to an effect most Ancient Gear monsters possess: If this card attacks, your opponent cannot activate any Spell or Trap Cards until the end of the Damage Step.
In case you did not know, the Damage Step is the part of the Battle Step that consists of (1) the point right before damage is calculated between two monsters, (2) damage being dealt to a monster, (3) dealing any damage to the player's Life Points (LPs), and (4) if any monsters are destroyed, they are sent to the Graveyard.
"Defense Draw" must activate during that third portion of the Damage Step when you are going to lose LPs. Since this is still during the Damage Step and if you are being attacked by an Ancient Gear monster with the above effect, you cannot activate "Defense Draw".

Can you activate torrential tribute or bottomless trap hole when you attack a face down monster with high defense?
Torrential Tribute and Bottomless Trap Hole can only be used in response to a monster's summon. Attacking a monster does not summon it (note that if the monster is face down, this is a Flip and not a Flip Summon).
Do flip effects have to work if tributed?
If the face-down monster is tributed, then no, any Flip Effects it has will not activate. Under normal conditions therefore, you should flip the monster first, allow the effect to activate/resolve, then tribute the monster for whatever. But you are out of luck if your face-down Flip Effect monster is tributed by the opponent using Soul Exchange, for example. Because it never 'Flips' (even though it goes to the graveyard face up) the effect will not activate.
What happens if you declare an attack then your opponent activates Mirror Force than you activate Book of Moon to Set your attacking monster in Yu-Gi-Oh?
If your opponent attacks, you can activate Book of Moonto flip the attacking monster face-down and cancel the attack. However, if you chain the activation of Book of Moon with Dark Mirror Force (assuming your opponent has a face-down Defense Position monster WHEN he/she attacks), the attacking monster will not be affected by Dark Mirror Force as a chain always resolves BACKWARDS. Therefore, Book of Moonwould be Chain Link 1 and Dark Mirror Force would be Chain Link 2. When resolving, the effect of Dark Mirror Forceactivates first, removing your opponent's Defense Position monsters (this does not include the attacking monster as it must be face-up and in Attack Position to have attacked in the first place) from play. Then the effect of Book of Moon resolves, flipping the attacking monster face-down. Note that you could not even activate Dark Mirror Force unless your opponent has a Defense Position monster to begin with.Assuming the same scenario, if you decide to activate Dark Mirror Force FIRST, then Book of Moon (targeting the attacking monster), then Dark Mirror Force would become Chain Link 1 and Book of Moon would become Chain Link 2. Again, the chain would resolve backwards, starting with the effect of Book of Moon. Your opponent's attacking monster is flipped face-down first. Then the effect of Dark Mirror Force resolves, Removing from Play all of your opponent's Defense Position monsters, including the original attacking monster (as it is now in Defense Position).

Does Zubaba Knight cancel the effect of the destroyed monster?
No part of Zubaba Knight negates effects but since it destroys the monster at the start of the Damage Step it might mean that some monster effects would be unable to activate. Monsters which trigger when destroyed by battle will not activate because they were destroyed by an effect. Many monsters with effects that happen during or after Damage Calculation will never activate because the damage step will end as soon as it starts.

What happens when you attack a defense position monster with the same DEF as your ATK in Yugioh?

Some monsters have effects that activate before or after they battle, so you must take those into account as well.
