Can I equip a creature of the type choosed with a Steely Resolve in
play?

Steely Resolve
1G
Edition: ON
As Steely Resolve comes into play, choose a creature type.
Creatures of the chosen type can't be the targets of spells or
abilities.

TIA

No. The Equip ability targets the creature.

However, if some equipments were attached, and *then* a Steely Resolve
comes into play, the equipment would stay attached--once they're on
they are no longer targetting the creature; they're just attached to
it.

I would say not because of the rule of equiping

502.33. Equip

502.33a Equip is an activated ability of artifact Equipment cards. The
phrase "Equip [cost]" means "[cost]: Move this Equipment onto target
creature you control. Play this ability only any time you could play a
sorcery."


this makes it an ability targeting a creature and if it can't be the target
of spells or abilities it can't therefore be equipped
