Answer 1

You can import photos from the Camera Roll to your computer using the following instructions: http://support.apple.com/kb/ht4083
If you want to keep the photos in your Camera Roll after the import, that is possible; see the link above for instructions.
Importing Camera Roll photos will have no impact on photos in Albums which came to the phone via previous iTunes sync with a computer.
If you want to return some of the imported photos from the computer to the phone, that can be done via a sync in iTunes. Note very carefully: each sync with iTunes sets the non-Camera Roll photos on the phone to match the current iTunes sync settings. That means, among other things, that if you have a previously synced photo on the phone and no longer have it on the computer (or change the location or the iTunes settings for the sync) it will be removed from the phone.
