How would I implement the quantum oracle in Deutsch's algorithm?
There are two questions here. The first asks how you might actually implement this in code, and the second asks what's the point if you know which oracle you're passing in.

How to prove that the query oracle is unitary?
Apply it twice:
$$
O_xO_x|i\rangle|b\rangle=O_x|i\rangle|b\oplus x_i\rangle=|i\rangle|b\oplus x_i\oplus x_i\rangle=|i\rangle|b\rangle
$$
Hence, $O_x$ is its own inverse, and therefore reversible.

Why doesn't Deutsch-Jozsa Algorithm show that P ≠ BQP?
I believe there are two issues here. The first isn't anything wrong with your statement, but rather that you could make a far stronger (non-quantum) statement by the same reasoning: $\mathsf{P}\neq \...

Understanding the oracle in Deutsch's algorithm
Remember that when you define the oracle effect as $B_f |x \rangle |y \rangle = |x \rangle |y \oplus f(x) \rangle $, $f(x)$ is a classical function of a classical 1-bit argument, so you do not have a ...

Why isn't output of Deutsch–Jozsa Algorithm simply $|0\rangle$?
This is because of what known as Phase kickback.
The phase of the bottom qubit can kick back and create a relative phase change on the top qubit. This is a very useful and often use trick in quantum ...

Why does the Hadamard gate satisfy $H|x\rangle=\frac{1}{\sqrt2}\sum_{z\in\{0,1\}}(-1)^{xz}\lvert z\rangle$?
This is just a compact way of representing the Hadamard operator. The summation operator can be expanded, yielding:
