"Up for grabs" means "available" or "available to win."
"I'm giving away my old chair for free. It's still up for grabs if anyone wants it."
"Enter our contest to win! There's a pair of tickets up for grabs."
---
"First come first served" means the things(s) is given to anyone who comes, until there is none left. If a store is giving away ten free coffees and twenty people line up, only the first ten people in the line will get free coffee.
At a restaurant: "No reservations. First come, first served."
"Our limited edition mugs are now available. First come, first served."
