What does a "debian ... amd64-netinst.iso" do
with an .iso?
When I input that string into a computer running Debian, it produces an
error message:

The iso file is not a command that you run on a Debian system.
Yes -- but the command in the given string is "debian", which is not a
valid command.
If you have
cd'd to the present working directory that the iso is located in you still
have to use "./" ./ tells the OS that the file is located in the present
working directory pwd.
"./" is required when a command is in the current working directory and
the current working directory is not in the PATH environment variable.
"./" is not required for file arguments in the current working directory:

$ echo 'cat $@' > foo

$ chmod +x foo

$ ./foo hello.txt
hello, world!
