All grains … wheat, maize/corn, barley, rye, rice etc… can be processed to make starch. The initial refining steps remove the protein, and the remaining starch is called 'cornflour'. Just like the old Norse term Korn, this term 'cornflour' describes the starch portion of any grain.
No. Cornflour is made from corn and does not rise. It's used for different reasons than self raising flour which is wheat flour with bicarb already added. Be aware with cornflour that it can also be wheat flour if it says wheaten cornflour. That concept baffles me.
Absolutely. Cornstarch and cornflour are the same thing. Generally speaking, the product will be called cornstarch in the USA. In Commonwealth countries, except for Canada, it will be called cornflour. Cornflour may be made from either wheat or maize (it will generally be labelled as "wheaten cornflour" if it is from wheat). The word "corn" in this context goes back to Old English and meant "grain with the seed still in" rather than referring to a specific species. It is ground from the endosperm of the grain and has a "quick sand" appearance when mixed with liquid. It will yield easily to gentle pressure but will resist sudden or violent pressure. Cornflour corn starch is different from corn meal or polenta and these cannot be substituted.

No, cornflour and cornmeal are not the same. Cornflour is a fine powder made from ground corn, often used as a thickening agent in sauces and soups. In contrast, cornmeal has a coarser texture and is typically used for baking and cooking, such as in cornbread or polenta. The two have different culinary applications due to their distinct textures and properties.
