I am new to pressure canning. I followed the uchfp instructions for hot pack corn. I am used to waterbath canning where everything is submerged, and my pressure canned corn is not fully submerged in water. just hoping someone will reassure me that's totally OK?

You mean the corn in the jars isn’t submerged? It was probably siphoning from heating up/cooling down the canner too quickly. If the jar is more than half full with liquid you’re fine as long as the seal holds. The corn not submerged may discolour but it’s safe. Any jars where the water is lower than half put in the fridge and eat right away or toss.
Correct.
Pressure canned stuff is “submerged in steam” if that makes sense. That’s why you need to vent out the air at the beginning.
