When studying the dihedral group of a square, do we consider only vertices or the whole points which the square covers? Because the vertices of square also gives the same symmetries.

You seem to be answering your own question. The set of vertices of the square has the same symmetries as the whole set of points of the square. Or perhaps I misunderstand your question?

When studying the symmetry groups of a whole geometric object, the symmetry of all points of that object is considered.
Take e.g. a square that contains a non-symmetric pattern on its surface: it has a different symmetry group than a square: its symmetry group is the identity group.
