So is the blocking minion still considered as blocking in the combat with a slave?

Can he use Sniper Rifle to set the range for example?

No. For the same reason as this ruling regarding Sniper Rifle and Psyche! The slave combat is not the result of the block.

Correct, even if the blocking minion is still the blocking minion. The "resulting combat" condtion is not fulfilled.
