A baritone horn looks somewhat like a miniaturized tuba. A bass Trombone is still a trombone, but slightly larger. It also has an F trigger, which opens up more tubing near the bell of the trombone and changes the note. This allows players to reach the range from a low E flat to a low B, which is physically impossible on a tenor trombone. Some bass trombones also include another trigger, G flat, which can be opened separately or in combination with the F trigger.
The trigger routs air through an additional loop of tubing, which results in pitches being lowered by a fourth. On bass trombones, there is a second trigger, which lowers the pitch by an additional fifth.

Usually the Trombone, Baritone, Euphonium, Tuba, Bass Clarinet, Baritone Sax all play in bass clef.
I would not consider the regular "tenor trombone" to be a scholarship instrument. However, instruments such as the alto and bass trombone are more likely choices as "scholarship instruments.". If you play tenor now, bass wouldn't be too difficult to learn. Euphonium is an alternative that is more like a tenor trombone.

The advantages of using a bass trombone with a double trigger mechanism include extended range, improved flexibility in playing low notes, and smoother transitions between different registers.

No, not a full octave, but it does have a lower range than a tenor trombone.
