No social media platform is a safe haven. Being subjected to trolls, abuses, and deliberate attempts to provoke a reaction while being active on social media is not something new and Facebook is nothing different.

As you unblock someone, that person will be able to see your profile, send messages, invite you for events, and add you as a friend. However, this also depends on your privacy settings. When you block someone on Facebook, they automatically get removed from your friend list. So, once you decide to unblock someone and wish to re-friend them on Facebook, then you have to send a separate friend request to them.

You should also bear in mind that once you unblock someone on Facebook, you cannot block them again for a period of 48 hours.
