There are many types of gluten-free flour, corn flour is just one of them.
Common foods containing corn flour include corn tortillas, empanadas and tamales. Salty 'tortilla chips' sold under various brand names are also made of corn flour. Corn flour is also used as a fish breading, as is cornmeal. Cornmeal, a coarse grind (as opposed to the find grind of flour) is used in many baking recipes like corn muffins or cornbread.
I have never made falafels, however I would not suggest trying to use corn flour for flour as corn flour is not flour at all, but basically corn meal and the consistency and flavor will be nothing alike.Corn Flour refers to corn meal that is ground at a much finer consistency than corn meal that is used to make cornbread, etc. Plain four is made for Wheat that is ground and then processed.Never the less, corn flour is made from corn, flour is made from wheat.
Yes, corn syrup is a sweet liquid - it's the same as glucose syrup. Whereas cornflour is a white powder (used for thickening sauces), and is not sweet in the same way that corn syrup is. Corn syrup is entirely sugar based (like molasses), whereas corn flour is a flour. Corn syrup and corn flour are not interchangable, (in the same way that you would not substitute honey for wheatflour).
I'm assuming you're here in the United States, not in Britain where the term largely means corn starch. Corn flour has a number of uses. The Mexican version, masa, is a primary ingredient in corn tortillas. Corn flour per se, is used in corn muffins, is sometimes mixed with other kinds of flours in baking to reduce the amount of gluten, and can be used as a thickener. Other forms of ground corn (less finely ground than flour) are used in the South as "grits" and in Europe, mainly Italy, as polenta.
Corn flour is corn. It's just ground very finely.

If "corn flour" is the same as "corn meal," a gritty meal, then it cannot be used as cornstarch which is a very fine, smooth white powder.
Ground yellow corn is yellow corn that has been ground into meal or flour.
I assume you mean corn flour. No, corn flour and rice flour have radically different textures, especially after being cooked. If this is not a concern then you might try it. *note: corn flour in the US is masa harina (powdered corn meal), whereas, in the UK corn flour is corn starch, actually a sugar rather than a grain flour.
