Yes, shucking sweet corn can help maintain its freshness. Removing the husks allows for better airflow and reduces moisture buildup, which can lead to spoilage. However, it’s best to keep the corn in the husk until you’re ready to use it, as the husk helps protect the kernels and retain moisture. If you do shuck it, store the corn in a cool place or refrigerate it to prolong freshness.
When using shuck to express a state of being flattered, it should be used something like: "Aw, shucks". When used in the context of peeling corn, you would used it as a verb (I shuck corn), an adjective (the shucked corn lay beside the hay), or an adverb (we are shucking corn).
The correct phrase is "shuck the corn" rather than "chuck the corn". To "chuck" means to throw. "Shuck" means to peel something off of, such as a corn husk. To use "shuck" as a noun means a material consisting of seed coverings and small pieces of stem or leaves that have been separated from the seeds (corn). Which is why we say "shuck the corn".

By hair you mean silk right. Run it under water and run your hands up and down it. If it really bothers you pick it off one by one. When you boil your corn some of it will come off. If you have tougher, older corn, use a washcloth, or sink brush. Just be careful not to damage a lot.
In the US, corn is typically sold by the bushel. Fresh market sweet corn, though, is usually sold by the ear.
Corn doesn't sweat. But sweet corn is sweet.
Corn starts to lose freshness very quickly. Sugars in the corn start turning to starch within hours of picking and can sour/ferment in warm conditions within 24/36 hours. Even in cool conditions sweet corn is not as good 3 days after picking.
