Is there any way to retrieve a list of movies by genre alone and if not, is creating your own database using parsed api data allowed or is it against the terms of use?

You can use discover method of our API. E.g. to get a list of English action movies sorted by popularity:

I also want to send search word with genre just like you send in search api https://developers.themoviedb.org/3/search/search-movies E.g q="War" and with_genre=12

You can't limit search to specific genres, "&with_genres=" works only with TV and movie discover methods.

All I've seen is non-answers and highly-technical talk about "API" and things ordinary people don't know about.

Making API Requests is usually done by code programmers, developing APPs and data query tools.
An API Request where there is a small typing error, a comma or space more or less, does not usually work.
But it is not an impossible subject to understand.
I, for one, don't program code.
I'm just a curious 71 year old.
Who for strange reasons decided to have fun with this subject.
If you found any non-answers and want some clarification, feel free to ask. :-)
