I dont' really trust urban dictionary though it's generally right about bitte there.
It means 'here you are' in that sense really. There's not really such a thing as 'please (offering)' in English is there?

no,
we don't have a directly equivalent word. I'm trying to think of another way you could translate it, but I'm coming up blank. It doesn't literally mean "here you are" but kind of means that in certain contexts. I suppose the best you can do on paper is vaguely allude to its sphere of applicability.
It's a funny thing, is language.
