the programs you use will still be useing tha ports, but a port scanner on the outside will not see any of your ports

the switch will route the data to the computer its addressed to and will switch full bandwidth between each system.
you do not have to worry about any ports or firewall.
the router does it all for you,

if both systems are downloading a very large amount of data at the same time, you will see very littel differance in speed
