What happen when rocks rub together?
Depends upon the two rocks and where they are. You will get dust as one stone wears away the other, or they wear away each other depending on the comparative density. Two rocks in a tumbling drum will slowly round each other off, creating smooth roundish stones. If one has iron content, and the other flint, you could create some sparks that could be used to make a fire. If the rocks are coal, you could get a very fine coal dust that can be lit with a match.

Why do large round rocks erode faster than rocks with sharp corners?
Its actually more about the composition of the rock than the shape, the rounded rocks tend to be of a softer material such as sandstone, limestone etc which erode quicker and as such form into rounded shapes were harder rocks such as granite are more resistant to erosion and therefore its the softer materials that erode and leave the sharp edges of granite.
