On problem is, that this function is limited to a very small amount of marked passages. But i always mark a lot of text! Is this limitation off, when the book has no DRM?
Yes, this is something enforced by the DRM. Books without DRM, or which have had the DRM stripped, do not have that limitation.

When i mark some text in a DRM Free book on my Kindle, can i see the marked or commented text also in Calibre, after a sync?
Yes, using the calibre plugin "Annotations".

Does also Calibre PC Reader allow a textmarker and comment function in the programm on my pc? How?
Not currently, although it does support bookmarks.
However, there is currently a massive rewrite of the Content Server underway, when it is finished the Content Server will also include an in-browser ebook-viewer, and it is expected the ebook-viewer will be upgraded to support annotations.

Which programm for Android can i use additionaly also to read, comment and textmark my ebooks in sync with calibre and kindle paperwhite?

Please help! I hope you understand what i want to say.
You can sync annotations between your Kindle Paperwhite and the Kindle for Android app.
Other apps may offer annotations capabilities, but they cannot sync with Amazon's servers to get access to your Paperwhite annotations.
