bash plus bash or bash plus non-bash scripts??

Yes. A script is basically a list of commands running in sequence one by one.

ls A*
ls B*

would list all files with A* and then all files with B*.

A command is basically an executable programm or another script.

Many shells have internal commands for workflow control like loops and breaks.

Yes. On many conditions.

man bash
man test

should be your friend. Take your time and use the search function of man and
type /loop for example. Jump with n to the next hit. Or press h for the help
file.
