    Yes you can advertise your own website. Check the FAQ here: https://affiliate-program.amazon.com/gp/associates/promo/paidsearch.html

    No problems with advertising your site that has affiliate links on it. Just no direct linking or redirects to amazon products from adwords.

    Do not point directly to Amazon, make sure that you are pointing it to your site first where you can place your affiliate links. Also, there may be restrictions on using Brand names of products or the word Amazon in your ads.
