~BA usually means if, but it is much more useful than that.

It can mean general "if"
Conjugation Rules for 「ば」
（例） 食べる → 食べれ → 食べれば
（例） 待つ → 待て → 待てば
For i-adjectives or negatives ending in 「ない」, drop the last 「い」 and attach 「ければ」.
（例） おかしい → おかしければ
（例） ない → なければ
Examples
（１） 友達に会えれば、買い物に行きます。
- If I can meet with my friend, we will go shopping.
（２） お金があればいいね。
- If I had money, it would be good, huh?
（３） 楽しければ、私も行く。
- If it's fun, I'll go too.
（４） 楽しくなければ、私も行かない。
- If it's not fun, I'll also not go.
（５） 食べなければ病気になるよ。
- If you don't eat, you will become sick.

Oh...I can't read kanji, and I'm still a beginner so some of what you posted don't make sense.
So, can you add me to your friendlist? (I'd add you, but I can't because I reached my limit)

どう～ばいい
Means how should
あの、ちょっと教えていただけたらありがたいんですがこの漢字はどう読めばいいでしょうか？
Um, i would apreciate it but, could you tell me how i should read this kanji?
VOCAB NOTE!
～でしょうか is politer than ~ですか and いただけたら is politer than もらえば
Without the どう It has a sort of pondering nusance:
何を話せばいいですか？
Lit. what, if i say, will be good?
（What should i say)
～たら Can replace ～ば In all uses (including meaning if)
あの、ちょっと教えていただけたらありがたいんですが、この漢字はどう読んだらいいでしょうか？
Um, i would apreciate it but, could you tell me how i should read this kanji?

it can be used in the compoun ～ばうれしい To express hope:
きにいって
気に入ってもらえばうれしい
I hope you like it.
VOCAB NOTE!
気に入る （きにいる） is ANOTHER way of saying like. it can be a very formal way of saying it or a verbial way of saying it, when you must say it like:
i hope you like it
i can like things too!
that really all i can think
A more formal way of saying it is ～ば幸い（さいわい）
おくち あ
お口に合えば幸い
I hope you like the flavour.
