The term is cartridge- that is a cartridge case, powder, primer, and bullet (that's the part that comes out of the barrel) It is extremely dangerous to attempt to remove a live primer from a loaded cartridge. Once the primer has been fired, reloaders use a tool called a deprimer to push the old primer out from the inside- but pushing on a LIVE primer will almost certainly make it fire. Very unsafe, please do not fool with that.

Is a bullet a bullet if there is no powder and no primer present?

Yes. The bullet is only the projectile. A bullet with case, powder, and primer is a cartridge. A cartridge without powder or primer is called a dummy cartridge because it will fit into a firearm but will not fire. Dummies are used for non firing training with weapons, and for display purposes.

How does the primer work on a bullet?

The primer in a bullet contains a small amount of explosive material that is ignited when struck by the firing pin. This explosion creates a flame that ignites the gunpowder in the cartridge, causing it to burn rapidly and create gas pressure that propels the bullet out of the firearm.

What is a round of a gun?

A round is not the same thing as a bullet. A round of ammunition has 4 components. The bullet is the projectile that comes out of the barrel when you pull the trigger, The primer is the component that ignites the powder when it is struck by the firing pin or striker. When the powder is ignited by the primer it burns rapidly which creates expanding gasses that push the bullet out of the barrel. When you combine a case containing the correct amount of powder along with a primer to ignite the powder and a bullet inserted into the case you have a round of ammo. A bullet is not the same thing as ammo. Without the other 3 components a bullet is just a harmless chunk of lead.
