If I take control of another player's creature, and that creature is equipped with an equipment, and then that creature is removed from play, does the equipped equipment remain on the battlefield under my control? What about an enchantment creature that was bestowed as an aura on said creature? Does it remain in play as a creature under my control? I hope I wasn't too confusing in my examples.

When you gain control of a permanent, you don't gain control of any permanents attached to it. In the Equipment case, while it remains attached to the creature, your opponent can still re-equip it to one of his or her creatures, while you cannot do so. The same holds when the creature dies. The Bestow case is similar - the Aura remains under your opponent's control, and that doesn't change when it becomes a creature.
(Side note: be careful with the effects of Auras/Equipment in cases like this. The control difference has some odd results when the Aura/Equipment itself has an ability, as opposed to granting the creature one. For example, if you still a creature with Sword of Light and Shadow equipped, that creature will still get +2/+2 and have the protections, but when it deals combat damage to a player, you do not gain three life and return a creature card — the Sword's controller does. Similarly, if you steal a creature with Dragon Mantle on it, you can pump it, since Mantle gives the creature the ability. If instead it has Firebreathing attached, your opponent can pump it but you can't.)
