Is a Bard basically like a Warrior or Ranger when it comes to DPS, assuming they're using the same ratio weapons?

There was a late Velious patch where bard melee skills were upgraded and they were moved to the same damage table as the non-monk melees. Verant explained that the goal was to bump bard melee dps up to being half of warrior dps. I think it's roughly in that ballpark. Maybe a little lower. The damage table change isn't applied to green server. I don't know if blue has the same bug.
As someone said before it's probably less of a gap at lower levels, where the other classes get less benefit from their double attack. Bard dots can add some damage while meleeing too.

If I were to just use melee weapons and my buff / debuff songs, would I be able to solo grind quicker and/or easier than most of the other melee classes?

My gut guess is significantly better than a rogue and significantly worse than a monk.

charm killing like Druids/Enchanters?

Bard charm has a significantly different feel to enchanter charm, because bards have a charm break and recharm every few ticks.
