If one hex is a yard or a meter, what would the standoff be for any given type of manpads, if a aircraft is in the next hex can a strela engage, or even a stinger, wether its a manpad a linebacker or a avenger? And what about sams in general is there a rule of thumb for standoff?

Every SAM is different. Many have minimum ranges. If you look at weapon 133 in the USA OOB with MOBHack you'll see a line..
"SABOT RANGE--Also Minimum range for some weapons" eg ATGM"
This also applies to SAMs and in the case of the Stinger SAM it's 2. The Patriot is 30. A Redeye SAM is 12
Those ranges are in HEXES so the Redeye has a 12 hex = 600 metre/yard minimum range for it to be deployed. Anything under that minimum wouldn't be fired on.
