Can you buy a "Kindle with ads" and remove these ads then after a Jailbreak?

Yes, it is technically possible, but it is occult knowledge. I don't know how. I know the one Kindle with ads I had, they somehow disappeared and never returned after I reset it, possibly because I did not connect it to any Amazon account or Wifi. You won't get any help with that aspect from any mainstream Kindle jailbreak devs or on MobileRead, as they follow a general policy of live and let live with Amazon. They don't get DMCAs on jailbreaks, they don't help people "pirate".
You can usually just contact amazon support and they will remove the ads for you without a fee.
They don't do that anymore, at least not for me. I tried contacting two different support agents and both mentioned that the functionality has been removed for them by the higher-ups.
Yes you can
