How exactly do you mean? If you mean you exile a god tool, then want to cast another, the other costs 2 less to cast (A card type, not for each card type).

It costs 2 less no matter what. It says A card type and not for each card type for a reason.

Then yes! Exile an artifact with four of them? Another artifact costs 8 less!

Say you exile {bident of thassa} with it. Would that reduce the cost of artifacts and enchantments? Or creatures and enchantments if you give it a bestow / god card?

There's no reason it wouldn't. If it shares a type, it's good!

The Anvil will reduce the price of anything that shares a card type with the exiled card, regardless of what that type is.  If you exile a Bident of Thassa, Artifacts and Enchantments you cast will have their costs reduced.

As a reminder, card types are...
Land
Creature
Instant
Sorcery
Enchantment
Artifact
Planeswalker
Tribal

Actually, it's not.  Like Basic and Legendary, World is just a Supertype, not a card type.

Also World isn't used anymore. They're just Enchantments now (as opposed to Auras).

Back in the day, Non-Aura enchantments were referred to as "Global" enchantments (which is what you're referring to), since they affected the board in some way.  There was a supertype for enchantments called "World", which was similar to the legend rule (and still applies, to this day) - When a World Enchantment enters the battlefield, all other World Enchantments put there before it re put in to their owners' graveyards.
