You *are* confused. You checkout a local working copy *from* a server.
After making changes you commit those changes back to the server.

Which local driver terminology are you referring to?
The manual should refer to a repository which resides on the server
and a working copy which resides on your local machine. Which bit do
you find confusing?

That is fine. You can use TSVN to create repositories on your local
machine, which it can then access using file:// protocol, e.g.
file://C:/SVN/trunk/project1

When you use file protocol, the client is also acting as its own
server. This is mainly intended for testing, but works OK for single
developers too.

TSVN is a client. It *can* create a repository but that is its only
admin capability and certainly not its main function.

If you want access from multiple machines then you need to setup a
server on the machine which has the repository.

Not unless you set it up.
