yes - yes and YES! Ground coriander is ground up coriander seeds, dry them out, then grind them up in a coffee grinder or spice grinder - I've done it in a mortar and pestle - but it's hard work!
Also - keep planting the seeds, flat leaf parsley and coriander will do better as the weather cools down a little towards autumn - here in Auckland I grow it all year round. Good luck.

I always grind up coriander seeds myself as the flavour is so much better than the supermarket packets. I use my coffee grinder - well it ruined my coffee grinder for coffee but it is worth it to me.
I use coriander and cumin together often in curries, bahjis etc.
Coriander also goes well with sweetened pears - nice flavour combination.

Dry toasting in a frying pan is the way to treat your herb seeds of almost any variety. It draws out the flavour and really is best done right before use. It only takes a couple of minutes and is well worth the effort. Toasting and grinding in bulk is likely to be detrimental to the flavour over a period of time. That's why your home prepared seeds will always taste better than the shop bought ready-ground spices.
