To my knowledge, if you installed Skyrim via Steam, you can install Skyrim onto any other computer; provided you log into your Steam account.

And yes you can transfer save files. You simply just copy and paste your Saves folder from your Skyrim directory.

Copy your saves folder, reinstall the game, and then copy your data folder if you want to carry over your mods (if you have any).

There's no restriction on installing to your steam account, it will just ask you to verify your steam account via your email address, where it will send you a code to input into steam to login for the first time. After that you are fine : )
