Maybe you're thinking of a Johnson bar, which is either attached to the steering column or on the dash, and is used to actuate the trailer brakes without actuating the remaining brakes? Real handy for extendable RNG trailers, where you must keep air supplied to the trailer, but have to apply the trailer brakes.
A cheater bar is the bar used to tighten down strap winches and chain binders on flatbed and other open deck trailers.

Do you have to use ratchet binders to transport a vehciel payload on a flatbed tractor trailer?
You can use snap binders, but it's really not recommended to do such. You risk damaging the vehicle if you lose your grip on your cheater bar when you unsnap them, and vehicles may still have a little sway when on the trailer, and ratchet binders are really the better way to go in order to eliminate this problem.
What is a tongue or draw-bar on a tractor trailer?
These are items you would be more likely to find on a farm tractor than on a tractor-trailer. A tongue is mounted to the frame (or an auxiliary arm), and can facilitate a hitch or mount for pulling a trailer. A drawbar is the bar which extends from the tow vehicle (or another trailer) to a dolly under the front of a trailer. You're not likely to find a tongue on a tractor-trailer. The primary means of coupling is the fifth wheel, and some tractors may additionally be equipped with a pintle mounted on the back of the chassis. Drawbars are more common to dump trucks which transport pup trailers behind them, and doubles combinations which require more significant separation of the two trailers than what a typically A-congear provides.

How do you Change a tractor trailer brake cystem to a streight truck?
Just leave it as is, and don't push in your trailer air when you drive. If you're referring to the Johnson bar, it can be changed to engage the tractor brakes instead of the trailer brakes, but it would probably be more hassle than it's worth. The only applications I can think of where one would actually benefit from having the Johnson bar engaged the power unit brakes are dump trucks (particularly, those dumping asphalt or concrete into pavers) and roll-off container trucks. Otherwise, there really is no use for it, unless you have something like a Mack R or RD model, where you have to pull lightly on the Johnson bar to engage the differential lock (but in which case, the Johnson bar would already be set up to engage the brakes of the power unit).

What does a sway bar look like?
A sway bar is used to control the sway of a trailer towed with a ball hitch. it is a two piece assembly with a handle attached to a screw tightener. the sway bar attaches to your hitch and to the A frame on your trailer. It attaches through the use of 1"ball and cups on each axle sway slides back and forth as the trailer and tow vehicle articulate. The screw tightener clamps down on a brake shoe which causes friction to limit the amount of movement on the bar.
