Almost all of the corn we eat is hybrid corn (https://www.ars.usda.gov/oc/timeline/corn/). Seeds from a hybrid parent will not grow the same way as the parent, meaning that you could end up with corn that is completely different than the corn you originally bought. You could try drying the cobs and saving the kernels, but in my opinion it's better to purchase seeds that are designed for planting.

Is the seed inside the corn kernel or is it the kernel itself? Basically, when I plant the 'seeds' do I plant the kernel, or extract a seed from the kernel and plant that?

The kernel is the seed. If you break the kernel open, the plant won't grow.

In an article about how to make deer food it calls for corn in every recipe, though a previous article states that corn is harmful for deer. What do I do?

Corn is just a filler, so it doesn't have any nutritional benefits. I use a sweet feed with very little corn in it.

When I put the seeds on the dirt, it did not grow; however, it was next to water.

You have to hoe the dirt/grass. If you see the small stems appear, wait, or right-click with bone meal.
