Every state has its own laws regarding whether a felon can serve on jury duty. Of course, they cannot serve on jury duty if they are incarcerated, and in most states in serving probation or other supervision. However, in many states, felons may not serve on jury duty unless they have had their civil rights restored. The requirements are the same for civil cases as for criminal cases.

It may depend on the wording of the law in your particular state, but generally the answer would be no.

If Im a convicted felon that can vote and serve on a jury does that mean i can own a gun?

Not necessarily - if your state returned those other two 'rights' to you - - if firearm possession was also included, the documents should say so specifically! Without that SPECIFIC permission you cannot assume your firearms rights were restored. One of the reasons may be: IF you are a convicted FEDERAL felon, you will never regain firarms rights. The US Code currently has no method by which federal felons can regain their firearms rights.

Is it possible for a convicted felon to return to the us after deportation?

No, not legally. If a felon is deported, then he has no right to return to the US. He will usually be put in immigration lockup for a long period (during which he has pretty much zero rights) and then deported again. He might have to serve the entire length of his original charge as well as face new charges.
