ESTA visa waiver extension

No.
For en ESTA visa waiver, the Bahamas does not qualify - its an 'adjacent island' in the VWP rules and therefore treated the same as a visit to Canada or Mexico. It does not stop or reset the VWP clock.
The closest country which qualifies as a potential 'reset location' is Costa Rica.
A few years ago I was researching much the same thing, and although I can't remember exactly where, I found that the countries between Mexico & Costa Rica don't count for a VWP reset either (or maybe we just didn't want to go to any of them ...).
However, there is no guarantee of a "reset" under the VWP - it's almost entirely up to the immigration officer as to whether or not you'd get another 90 days.
Anecdotally I can say that by alternating between weekend visits to Costa Rica and 1-2 week trips to the UK, a VWP reset for the full 90 days was given by the IO 4 times over the period of about a year (and no uncomfortable questions were asked at a subsequent interview for an H-class visa) - but this might be considered to be going against the spirit of the VWP system, so ymmv ...
