How do you get cornstarch from cornflour?
Cornstarch is cornflour, just ground to a smaller diameter. If you have cornflour and a grinder, just grind it some more, just like you would grind crystallized sugar into icing sugar. Once you are done, use a thin sieve to filter out the remaining flour-size grain. The only type of cornflour that cannot be ground into proper starch is if it still contains the germs or skins of the kernels, but most corn flour already has these parts removed, for instance in order to extract maize oil.

No - icing sugar is made from glucose and is simply white sugar finely ground to make confectioner's sugar or powder sugar. It often has small amounts of cornflour added. It is used to dust baked goods or to make an icing or frosting by adding small amounts of liquid or fat. Fruit sugar is made from fructose and is preferred by some people for dietary or allergy-related reasons. It is a form of granulated sugar. You could make icing sugar from fruit sugar by grinding it finely in a food processor and adding a small quantity of cornflour. If you're baking a cake and have run out of sugar you could substitute the same weight or volume of fruit sugar or a smaller volume or the same weight of icing sugar (because icing sugar is more finely ground than granulated sugar the same weight of icing sugar wil occupy less volume).
