Can I use only GLUT to implement a MainMenu or a MenuBar? OS: Unix or Windows

Not in an easy way, you have to render the menubar itself with OpenGL, and that takes some work.

Gosh! There must be some kind of API we can use to make this simpler, right? any recommendation? Thanks

If memory serves me correctly look at GLUI lib and PLUI lib, not sure if that is right as it was a few years a go since I used them and I am not at work so can’t check. But there are libs out there. Stuff like delphi can build your gui’s for you.
