Sandman's first ability works in all zones, not only the battlefield.
wotc19 Sept 2025
Sandman's second ability applies only at the time blockers are declared. For example, if Sandman is blocked by a creature with 4 power, and then an effect gives that creature -3/-0, it won't stop blocking Sandman.
