Do you count the bar when lifting?

Yes.

Real men subtract the weight of the bar.

When I switched gyms last month I weighed some of the bars to make sure I was progressing my lifts correctly... turned out one of the bars was 13.4kg, go figure.

Yeah. 135 = 2 plates (45lbs ofc) + 1 bar.

Telling other people: yes.

For your notes: whatever works for you. I write down what I am loading on one side.

It's always just the bar. Sometimes the plates move with the bar but that doesn't really count.
