Extending a pool light brass pipe with pvc?

I am trying to extend my pool equipment by about 25 feet. However, the conduit for the pool light is brass and it is very expensive to extend that far. I've read that i can extend it with PVC if i run a #8 bond wire from the bonding lug at the light niche to the deck box.
I have a question though. I included a picture of where i cut off the brass. If you look right below the pipe there is a ground wire that is run a long with it. I'm not sure what it's for. There was concrete poured all around the brass pipe with this ground wire and one from the pump motor all connected via the concrete.
As far as running the #8 wire in the pipe. Can that be bare or does it need to be wrapped?
