A filter is a program that can remove input given a certain criterial. It in effect, "filters" out things that either match or do not match, thus giving you less information (it has been filtered out).
A pipe is a software construct that allows for information to be communicated between processes. Think of a water pipe connecting a community for example.
Pipes can be utilized as well to "chain" together multiple filter programs to create only the information you want. A traditional pipe in Unix connects the output of one process to the input of another.
