Equip cards can never remain face-up on the field without their target monster. If the monster leaves the field or is turned face down, then the Equip card will be destroyed. That goes for regular Equip Spell cards, but also monsters stolen and turned into Equips by Relinquished, etc.

However keep in mind that cards like Call of the Haunted do not actually 'equip', so can remain on the field under certain circumstances, like if the summoned monster was tributed instead of destroyed.

In general, a monster's effect can only be activated while it is face-up on the field. The only time they can do otherwise, is if they specifically say so. So Necro Gardna has an effect that activates in the graveyard, and DD Survivor has an effect that activates in the removed from play zone, for example. But you could not activate the regular Ignition Effect of, say, a Judgment Dragon in the removed from play zone.

Equip cards can never remain face-up on the field without an equipping monster. If they ever become unequipped, they will be destroyed and sent to the graveyard.

How does the 'Flint' Equip Spell card work say your oppenent tributes his monster while it has 'Flint' equipped is it destroyed?

Yes, Flint would be destroyed in that case. You equip Flint to a monster, and if that monster would be destroyed, then you (must) re-equip it to another monster. Though initially you'd probably place it one the opponent's monster, the mandatory re-equip may mean you have to put it on one of your own. However if the equipped monster is not 'destroyed', ie, if it is tributed, or removed from play by an effect such as Caius the Shadow Monarch, then Flint itself will be destroyed and go to the graveyard.

Can you de-equip cards?

You cannot voluntarily move an Equip card from one monster to another, or unequip it and have it be destroyed, unless another effect lets you do so. Tailor of the Fickle is one card. The other situation is with Union monsters who turn into Equip cards. These can unequip themselves as an activated effect and summon themselves back to the monster zone.

Do you have to equip Flint to your monster if your opponent's monster equipped with your Flint has been destroyed?

As long as there is a valid target, Flint will trigger and re-equip to a monster after the previous equip target is destroyed. That may mean it has to equip one of your own monsters, you can't just decide not to allow it to come back, it does so as a mandatory effect as long as there is indeed something it can equip to.

Yes. Monsters that are acting as Equip cards, are considered to be Equip Spell Cards and are affected by everything that normally affects Spell Cards. So spell destruction cards will affect them while monster destruction will not.
