For the Menu .. possibly just some labels added to a panel

You could calculate the top position from VisibleRowID ... but unsure of method to calculate left position. (especially if user starts scrolling)

B4X:

Sub B4XTable1_CellLongClicked (ColumnId As String, RowId As Long)
    Dim visibleRowID As Int = B4XTable1.VisibleRowIds.IndexOf(RowId)
    pnlMenu.Visible = True
    pnlMenu.SetLayoutAnimated(0, 100dip, 140dip +(visibleRowID * 42dip) , 100dip, 100dip) 'Top value .. 140dip for header height
End Sub

Have you read the Guides and tutorials... further down is a link for Video Tutorials as well.

I have attached a small example that supplies a menu on Long_Click of the first Column cells. It has been restricted to the first column only.
Adapt it to your needs. It has been commented well.
I have not tested the accurate positioning of the menu across devices.

I have seen an example of balloon shaped panel / view in the forum if that interests you. (Have not searched)
There is probably other views that could be used as a menu as well.
