把 is a structural particle. There are many articles on here and the internet to further understand..it covers too broad a scope for me to answer here.
吧 is usually a modal particle, and comes at the end of a sentence, usually indicating a polite suggestion. It also is a loan word, which means a word borrowed from English to phonetically represent it's English equivalent. It is the Chinese loan word for bar. Another example of this is 沙发 which means sofa, and also can be used to describe the first person who responds to an online post.
