Is it possible to have Windows Live Hotmail move all unread e-mail in a certain folder automatically?

Yep. Go to Options, then More Options and setup a Filter. Create a folder called Unread Mail (or whatever you prefer) and set it up so that it reads If To or CC contains <your email address> move to Unread Folder.

I assume you're talking about the web version and noth the desktop client. If you're talking about the client, I wouldn't know, but I do think there is an option to set up filters in the desktop client as well.

That makes no sense. Why would I send e-mail to myself? I want any unread e-mail (i.e. any new e-mail) to go into a certain folder automatically.

No, what he's saying is to setup a filter on your incoming mail that sends all new email where the To address is your email address to a specified folder. This would send all new mail to a specified folder. Whether that's what you want or not I don't know.
