During court, when something happens and the judge tells the jury to ‘forget that’ or ‘not include that,’ if the jury heard it, how could I, as someone on the jury, possibly just ignore what I heard? Whether the evidence is admissible or not.

No, there’s still a fundamental disconnect there.
The law may say they have to, but they don’t actually have to. The difference is important
If they don’t, and they say they aren’t, it is a mistrial.
If they don’t, and they keep their mouth shut, then no one knows.
