1) The bottom right corner of my 7 year old passport is peeling off due to natural wear and tear, and I would like to know if this is a security breach on my part , and will I be held responsible if i travel with a passport of this sort, can I be deported?

(2) I would also like to know if I apply for a new passport , would the valid visas on old passport be carried over, and how can i know for certainty

(3)In case my visa application gets rejected, or I am refused entry into a country , due to a damaged passport(natural wear and tear), will this affect my future applications
 
1) Most likely no
2) You should contact the embassies of the respective countries. Some countries transfer valid visas to new passports (e.g., USA), some don't (e.g., Russia)
3) It should not

What country issued you a passport, and what countries' visas are you asking about?
 
Passport getting damaged due to natural wear will not be regarded a security breach. Are the details regarding your personal information( Name, DOB, Photograph, Place of Passport issue, Date of expiry) intact? If so, there will be no problem traveling with it. I would suggest that you go for a replacement of your passport at the earliest as the passport may get further damaged in the future.
