Is it necessary to sort the seeds from the chaff if you're going to replant? Would just releasing the seeds from the chaff be good enough?

Yes and no! Depends on your current storing and sowing conditions as also, the plants you're wishing to grow. If you intend on sowing seeds right, soon after picking them up, it'd be better to simply add them along with chaff to the soil for more added organic content. If you prefer to store it, especially in a humid, closed conditions, the chaff will simply attract more moisture and your seeds will be exposed to moulds/ fungi. Make your call according to storing duration and humidity conditions.
It's all about temperature. Molds, other pests, pH - are all factors to a lesser extent. If the soil certainly won't freeze anymore - plan away, perhaps check on pH requirements of the specific plant.

the husks of corn or other seed separated by winnowing or threshing.
tells me "should I peel the woody stuff around the seeds?" Yes, it's purpose it to delay germination, You don't want that.
