Mustard is made from ground mustard seeds. The liquid can be anything: wine, honey, vinegar. Also added can be pepper.
I think it can be easily substituted. Just taste it and if its too strong for you cut back on what you add.
Mustard seed is just that — the seed of the mustard plant. In order to gain any flavor from the seed, it is crushed/ground, and then mixed with some type of liquid that contains vinegar, and/or wine (the key is some type of acid to bloom the flavor).
Dry mustard is the the ground mustard seed that has the seed coating removed, and has the tendency to be quite piquant when mixed with water. Dry mustard, mixed with a bit of water will give you something close to Chinese mustard. Before baking a standing rib roast, I will season it and then rub on a coating of dry mustard. It slightly flavors it, and helps create a crust that helps retain the moisture at low temp. roasting.
The French’s brand mustard that you are referring to is made with distilled vinegar, ground mustard seed, salt, turmeric, paprika, (probably MSG), and garlic powder.
I wouldn’t say that they are appropriate substitutions — Flavor and texture are all different.
When you grind mustard seed, you get dry mustard. When you add liquid to dry mustard, you get mustard paste. The herbs, spices and other ingredients that are added to mustard paste result in the different types of mustards available (i.e., Dijon, Honey, Sweet & Hot, etc.)
