I read online that writing to a drive wears it out quicker but does say, connecting a Kingston dual Micro USB stick to my TV's USB port to play video files from the drive damage the drive?
Also, can the TV somehow corrupt the files on the USB?

re your title - both, - and it can handle more reads than writes. You can get stats on how many reads it can take and how many writes it can take. Good to back it up. In theory some rogue or bad software on the TV could write something on some media plugged into it, but it has probably never happened before. If a computer has a bad power supply then it can potentially damage components, so in theory a TV built badly could break a usb stick but you'd be hard pressed to find any example somebody has proven has happened though it could even in practise. In practise it wouldn't write i don't think
