Content yes - (not sure that unattached media (pictures etc) that are not used in a Post or Page will also transfer so you might need to move some things manually - all of your Posts and Pages will transfer just fine

structure maybe - depends on the Theme and if it is available outside WordPress.COM - themes here are modified here and you have a lot of Widgets here and no Plug-in's

Do I get things right ? :)

You can use any version of WP.org software you like, but older versions are insecure.

A bit risky....

If that's feasible, it'll be great !
