does my new site have to have wordpress.com added?
All wordpress.COM sites have .wordpress.COM blog addresses. If you want to purchase an upgrade then you can have your own custom domain and map from the underlying .wordpress.com URL to the domain URL.
The policy and prices have changed. All new accounts must purchase the Premium bundle of upgrades. Only renewal of an existing domain mapping upgrade is now available at the lower price. See: http://support.wordpress.com/domain-mapping/map-existing-domain/

The support documentation is all found at the Support link http://en.support.wordpress.com which is also on the bottom of your Admin page.
A blog is a website. The difference between blog and website is simply structure and semantics.
A blog is a post based website designed for interactive communication. As the posts are frequently updated and appear on the front page of the site it’s very attractive to search engines.
What most people call a website is merely a page based site that functions as a one-way noticeboard. As the structure is page based and as pages are for static content that rarely changes, and as pages do not have RSS feeds, and as others do not backlink to pages, it is not as attractive to search engines as a post based blog structured site is.
Any WordPress blog can be restructured from being post based to being page based – no upgrade required. For greater clarity read > http://en.support.wordpress.com/using-wordpress-to-create-a-website/
