A jury is a panel of peers who, at least in the US system, come to a verdict based on the evidence presented them, and may provide a recommended sentence or damages. A judge is single person, appointed by the President in the Federal system, or may be elected in the State and local systems. A judge is charged with serving as a referee in the courtroom, making sure rules of evidence are followed, and with handing down the final verdict.
The jury is the trier of fact in the case. The judge is required to interpret the law for the facts determined.

Not surprisingly, a Judge and Jury act as judge and jury.
A Grand Jury hears primarily from the prosecutor, usually in sessions that are closed to the press and the public, and decides whether there is enough evidence to charge someone and to hold a trial. A jury (or Petit Jury) hears evidence from both prosecutor and defense in a courtroom before a judge where any member of the press and the public can come and observe. The Judge tells the jury what the law says and the jury decides if the facts indicate guilt beyond a reasonable doubt. The judge then releases the defendant (if found not guilty) or passes sentence (if found guilty).
A bench trial is a trial conducted before a judge without a jury. In such trials, the judge decides both questions of facts and questions of law. A jury trial is a civil or criminal trial which the case is decided by the jury who observes the proceedings then deliberates in private and makes the fineal decision The rules of evidence and procedural methods are the same in both kinds of proceedings.

A "bench trial" is a case heard by a judge without a jury. In a jury case, the jury decides the facts of the case -- what is true and not true -- and the judge decides the law. In a bench trial, the judge determines the facts and the law.
A grand jury can not reduce a charge. Only the judge can make decisions like that. The grand jury can make suggestions to the judge and the judge can decide for or against it.
