What is the role of bearing in the navy?

Bearing is a direction. The bearings are typically based upon the ship's navigational gyroscope, though if the gyros are not working, the magnetic compass can be used. The ship's course is given as a bearing that is to be steered. Contact information is based on a bearing from the ship. By tracking the bearing of a contact and the range, you can determine the contact's course and speed. Something that is at a 'Constant Bearing' is going to be very close, if not hit, the ship. "CBDR" was something you hated to hear, Constant Bearing Decreasing Range meant that you were going to have to work out course and speed and make recommendations to the Captain as to how to avoid based on Rules of the Road, etc.

What is the point of going to the lighthouse to the ship?

The ship is traveling west which means that the ship is traveling at a bearing of 270 degrees. The lighthouse is 10km northwest of the ship at time point 0. Northwest means the lighthouse is at a bearing of 315 degrees from the ship. This means that the angle between the direction the ship is going and the lighthouse is 315 - 270 = 45 degrees.

What bearing should a ship sail on in order to return to port after sailing from port on a bearing of 050 degrees for 150 km and then on a bearing of 140 degrees for 200 km?

We will assume that the curvature of the Earth is not taken into account for this. Approx heading = 283 degrees & Distance = 250 km from port.Draw a rough sketch with questions like these and in fact the course taken by the ship works out as a right angle triangle.

What compass bearing?

Heading indicates the direction the ship/aircraft/vehicle you are in is moving toward. Bearing is normally used to indicate the direction something else is relative to you. The ship was heading 085 and maintaining a station on the carrier at two miles and a bearing of 200 from the carrier. This is often the case where a ship or airplane is "pointed" on a bearing across the wind or current and "moving" on a heading that is the natural consequence of the combined forces on the hull.
