When using 尽管 as "feel free to", do I always need to use it with 你? Can I omit 就? Can I omit 吧?

For example

你想看电影就尽管看吧。

Some examples can be found in Chinese Grammar Wiki

Feel free to talk if you have anything to say.
有 什么 问题 尽管 问 。
Feel free to ask if you have any questions.

And to answer your questions:

do I always need to use it with 你

No. You can say: 让他有问题尽管问我. And from the example you can see that it can also used with some other pronouns, or with the subject omitted.

can I omit 就

Not in your example sentence, but it can be used without 就. See the examples above.

can I omit 吧

Yes. And "吧" can be omitted from your example sentence.

No, the simplest form is 尽管+verb.

尽管看

It is a little aggressive. A boss might say 尽管做, 出事我负责.
