At first, there was no launcher there was just the Minecraft.jar file which you could launch to start playing. That's what the parent page is doing; it's just having us download and run the game, no need for a launcher.

Yes. Downloading a game file you don't own and running it is called piracy, so beware of possible legal ramifications.
