The following link gives you the basics on moving your content.

Figure an average monthly cost, all things considered, of about $10 to $25 depending on your hosting needs (bandwidth, storage, etc.).

You will be responsible for all installations, all upgrades, all backups and all troubleshooting. If something goes wrong (such as installing a bad theme or plugin) you have to figure it out and fix it.

A custom domain is just a new address in the Browser Bar, it doesn't move your blog off WP.com to an independent host.

Every upgrade at WP.com applies only specifically to what it says. In this case, you have a custom domain that your readers can remember more easily and you can take with you, should you decide to leave WP.com. But you haven't left it, and all the restrictions and conditions that applied to you before still apply.
