All fruits can be cross pollinated within their own family, but unless the fruit is a true Species they will not come true from seed.

You can't pollinate a seed. A seed is the desired result of pollination.
Usually you take the tassels off to pollinate corn (you shake the tassels onto the silk) each of the silk hairs produces one kernel of corn. Also, Detasseling is done to cross-breed, or hybridize, two different varieties of corn. Corn is planted in alternating rows of different corn varieties. One variety is detasseled (tassels removed ) and is fertilized by the second variety to produce an improved hybrid.
The seed could be exposed to chemicals or radiation that could cause a mutation. Or the pollen from different types of sunflowers could pollinate different sunflower flowers. Sometimes a virus will mutate a flower.
Yes. Sunflowers are grown from seed.
You detassel field corn to prevent cross-pollination, often from an adjacent field where seed corn is being grown.
Grow them from seed
All sunflower seeds contain oil. Oil seed sunflowers will have the most amount of oil per seed.
Just planting them does not mean the will cross pollinate. Most citrus plants are self-fertile and also if cross pollination should occur with citrus, it's possible the seeds would be affected and when those seed are planted, they may or may not produce fruit with a taste that differs from the parent plant.
As the seed that you eat
No, they are seed producing.
