'Grab' is used correctly here. This is a literal use of the verb 'to grab', which means 'to seize' or 'to take with force'. Another example: 'Grab a chair and sit down!'.
This is correct. If something is 'up for grabs', then it is 'available' or 'can be obtained'. This is the expression used by Brian in his email to tell his colleagues that one of them can have a ticket to the ballet if they want it.
We cannot use the verb 'to grab' to introduce an activity already planned for the future. Instead, it would be more natural to say 'I have my first horse riding lesson this week'.
This sentence uses 'to grab' correctly. In this informal context, 'to grab (a drink, a sandwich)' means 'to get' or 'to go for (a drink, a sandwich)'. Here's another example: 'Shall we grab another beer before we go home? I'm not drunk enough'.
We can invite someone to 'grab' an item of food or drink, for example 'Let's grab a coffee before we get on the train'. However, we would not invite someone to 'grab' something which cannot be touched, like a conversation. 'To have' would be more natural than 'to grab' here.
