Calibre should import AZW1 files just fine. But just know that those are typically TOPAZ ebooks, and without the intervention of certain unmentionable plugins, calibre won't be able to do anything with them after you import them (other than edit the metadata and transfer it to the device it was intended to be read on). It won't be able to convert them even if you found one that was DRM-free (and a DRM-free TOPAZ book in the wild is more rare than a blue-speckled pup).

By the way, I don't know if this is important, but I copied the ebook from my Kindle to the computer desktop. It doesn's show the blue book icon either on the Kindle or the desktop, but it does if I rename it to azw - which calibre wouldn't add, and it wouldn't open in Kindle for PC.

If you copied it directly from your Kindle, there's no way Kindle for PC will be able to read it... regardless of the file extension. It's a Topaz book that's DRM encrypted for your Kindle 3.
Is that exact file readable on your K3 (with the AZW1 extension)?
