Bootstrap is an open source framework. Anybody can download and use it freely. But you need to understand the code. And there is a wealth of online documentation about Bootstrap.

Would the new version of Dreamweaver be easier for a novice user trying to make a responsive website?
Ease of use is highly subjective. I think you should get a free 7 day trial of DW CC before you buy it.

Remove the height:740px settings on your text containers.
Here's what it looks like in my desktop browser...
Height should never be set for a text container because you don't have control over text size the viewer uses in their browser. Since the size can vary, setting a fixed height will cause the text to break out of the container.
Yes it should work on any device. But it may not appear the same way because of the significant differences in real estate. I should also mention that old fashioned image maps won't work in responsive layouts. The hotspots drift out of register when images are re-scaled.
In this Bootstrap example, my layout is mobile-first 1 column wide expanding to 2 columns on medium devices and 4 columns on larger devices. On smaller screens, the touch-friendly navigation collapses into a vertically-stacked, hamburger menu.
