That quote says "unprotected" file types, so if a person had purchased mobi or pdf files, they won't work on the Kindle. They'd have to re-buy all their books in azw. Yes?

DRM'd PDF's won't work on anything but a computer at this time. DRM'd Mobi won't officially work on the Kindle, but there is a hack that lets you read them. Non-DRM'd Mobi files work on the Kindle without doing anything to them as will plain text files. HTML, DOC (Microsoft Word) & PDF (not sure about RTF) can be converted either using the email conversion to AZW or by using Mobipocket Creator (if you have Windows) to convert them to Mobi/PRC files. LIT files can be converted by breaking the DRM & using Mobipocket Creator to make a non-DRM Mobi file (non DRM LIT's obviously don't need the DRM broken, but can also be converted).

Can you save your purchased books on your own computer? Can you read your purchased books on your own computer?

Yes you can save them. No there isn't a reader program for use on a computer.
