What is the difference on molecular scale between a glass and a liquid?

The molecules in a glass are (more or less) randomly oriented, but the difference is that they can hardly move.

Is a glass in thermodynamic equilibrium?

No

What does it mean that a glass in a vitrified liquid?

It means that it cannot respond anymore to the changes in its condition (e.g. Reduction in temperature), but would have a driving force to do so.
