He sounds a bit strange. If he asked for help and you offered it, his response doesn't make sense. A normal person would reply "thanks"

The correct response would be: "Let me help you there."
or: "I'll help you there."
The questions "Shall I?" without an additional verb sounds like you're thinking about sex.

the term "I dare you" can be playful threat or a serious one. Basically the person's body language will guage wether or not they are serious.

hmm I wouldn't say rude but it is uncommon. you can use "Can I help you (with that)?" I do not understand his response if he was offended or angry. If he was not angry, he was probably playfully saying, "You can try but it's going to be hard!"
