  Hi, yes you can move your site to a self-hosted WordPress.org site. Here are the instructions to do so: https://en.support.wordpress.com/moving-to-a-self-hosted-wordpress-site/

  Your domain was not purchased in July. I can see that it was registered on March 3, 2015. It expires on March 3, 2016.

  Our automatic renewal takes place one month prior to the domain’s expiry date to avoid any payment issues from interrupting the site. That means the automatic renewal will kick in on February 2, 2016. You can confirm this by going to http://wordpress.com/purchases

  Hope that answers your question.
