Well... I first learned this word from vocabulary book at first . Can I just say "The countries are adjacent." and "The bruising was not near to the wound" instead?

Yes, you can say both of those, especially if you're wanting to be informal. Most US speakers only use "contiguous" when speaking very formally.
