A power factor capacitor is a power capacitor. I'm not sure what you mean by "regular". There are different types, made from different materials that have better/worse characteristics than others depending on the application. You could use any high power capacitor for power factor correction, as long as it is sized correctly for the load and voltage.

How do you find whether it is inductor or capacitor if only power factor is given?

in case of inductor or capacitor power factor is always zero.as power factor is cosine of phase angle between voltage and current. in case of inductor and capacitor phase angle between voltage and current is 90 so it become zero so if given power factor is zero then it can be inductor or capacitor.

What will be the PF if measured after capacitor bank?

Capacitors are used to improve an inductive load's power factor towards unity. The power factor before and after adding the capacitor bank depends entirely on the inductive/capacitive values involved.
