BTW, you can have 23andMe delete your data, including the genetic data they have stored. I did this a couple of years back and it was fairly straightforward. Sounds like it is even more so now:
It basically takes your genetic information and maps it to what is in SNPedia: https://snpedia.com/.
The problem with this approach is that what you are getting isn't really analysis, and you will get lots of conflicting data and information that is not possible to interpret without specialized knowledge. Still, it can be both fun and interesting.
Sure. There are lots of SNP databases out there. The NIH has a great repository, for instance. There’s even a wiki of most known SNPs, with descriptions.
It’s kind of labor intensive without automation. But, I’m sure someone has written a script to compare raw SNP data to SNP databases.
Things to keep in mind: 1) raw SNP data contains errors. 2) A particular SNP may be associated with condition X, but many other SNPs could be also be associated with X. And, rarely is it understood how they work together (since they’re often located in different genes). 3) a lot of SNP research is done using small samples, i.e. not much confidence. (A GWAS will produce more confidence, but also identify fewer SNPs of interest.)
No, since an analysis is itself a value judgement. What I mean is that a DNA profile is becoming even more useful every day due to additional research telling us what different parts of the genome is doing and what interactions it has (with drugs, food, environment, other parts of the genome).
So you can read the raw DNA sequence yourself but it is the link into thousands of pieces of academic research that is the real value delivered here. Without that it is just a bunch of letters that mean nothing.

Also, at the time you could download an export of your genetic data and that is probably still the case.
