1) If you are not hosted on WordPress.COM then yes you can install your own theme (there are a couple of exceptions based on the host)
2) WordPress.ORG software is free
3) Features yes - you need to pick and install your own Plug-in's, theme install is built into the WordPress.ORG software

The site you are asking about does not seem to be hosted on WordPress.COM so you need to make friends over at WordPress.ORG the keepers of the software you are using.

This site is for support of sites hosted on WordPress.COM. You should address your questions to WordPress.ORG the keepers of the software you are using: http://wordpress.org/support/

But I need to make sure that I can install purchased third party WordPress themes to it on a self hosting site.
Question 1 Does your server software allow third party WordPress themes be installed onto your server software?
Question 2 Is there a charge for your server software of WordPress?
Question 3 Does your server software come with all the plugins and all featuresof totally controlling users and passwords and installing new themes?
Thank you

Here at wordpress.com, the have a shared environment using wordpress. We do not do our own wordpress installs, so the advice you might get elsewhere often will lead you astray. Your best bet is to read through and search the support documents here at wordpress.com. http://en.support.wordpress.com/

Search the forums here to see if others have asked your question before and when you get stymied, ask your very specific questions here. Be sure to link to your site and tell us what theme you are using to get the best response.

i am a total noob and this is my first time setting up a website. everytime i want to do something, and i look at the support forums for advice, it often appears as though i need to have 'wordpress installed' in order to do this. however, considering i bought my domain from wordpress, i'm not really sure what this means or how i go about doing this. this is probably the stupidest question ever, sorry.

please help

I have a name.wordpress.com address.

I see that you have your usename linked to a free hosted WordPress.com blog. There is no FTP access to free hosted WordPress.COM blogs and we cannot install individual plugins into them or third party themes. Those found on the internet are for WordPress.ORG installs which run on different software.
http://en.support.wordpress.com/ftp-access/
http://en.support.wordpress.com/plugins/

If you wish to have complete control over a blog, the ability to upload themes and plugins, and to edit themes and templates then your option is to hire a web host and get a free software install from WordPress.ORG and self host it.

We don't allow plugins on WordPress.com for security reasons. Plugins are a feature only available for self-hosted blogs provided through WordPress.org.

However, we do have some really cool widgets (including a Subscribe widget). Perhaps one of those might meet your needs?
