What should be the ideal blood pressure of a person before any surgery? If my blood pressure is too high, would the surgery be postponed?

Below 120/70. Yes, they will postpone the Surgery if it is very high and they are not able to reduce it.
Ideal blood pressure before surgery is similar to daily ideal blood pressure with a systolic from 100 to 130 and a diastolic between 60 and 80. If your blood pressure is lower, you may require fluids before surgery and if it is higher you may require preoperative tests and images to rule other associated complications with hypertension. It is best to take prescribed medication for several weeks before surgery. The morning of surgery, you should not take blood pressure meds; however, you should continue to take meds that control the heart rate to protect the heart from MI.
Yes! If your blood pressure is high, no doctor would do surgery. If your pressure is too high, it would not be a good thing to chance a stroke or heart attack. Your doctor will tell you what you should do.
