There are an enormous number of uses of both of these words. The meaning comes from the context.

Don’t grab. Wait your turn. (A parent to his child at the dinner table. Here, it’s a negative.)
Let’s grab lunch.
I’ll drive . You grab some sleep.
He took my car. (Could mean that he stole it. Could mean that he used it.)
