how does door lock

When I lock either door, all I have to do is push on the door handle button and it unlocks, the button pops up and the door opens. I can lock it by holding the handle button and shutting the door and the lock button remains down but when I push on the handle button the lock pops up and you are in the car. Is something worn out on my car?

That is just the way they were made. By holding the button in you are putting things into a bind. The door unlocks when you close it, but pushing the button prevents the lock button from popping up to signal that is in fact unlocked.

And yes the drivers door is the only door that will unlock and open from the inside by just pulling the inside door handle. These are old old forgotten design features that chrysler thought up way back then.
