I believe the spreadsheet you are referring to is
OPR based on Twitter data 3-14-2014 203053 ET revB.XLS.
The numbers are calculated correctly. However: 1) that spreadsheet was prepared from Twitter data from Friday night before you had finished quals (on Saturday), and 2) Twitter contained only 5 of the 8 matches you played on Friday. For such a small data sample size, the OPR may be misleading.
To answer your questions:
Column B is the "standard" OPR, based on final score (which includes awarded foul points).
Column E is
unpenalized CCWM... "unpenalized" in this context meaning the awarded foul points are removed from the final score, and CCWM meaning the opposing alliance's score (with awarded foul points removed) is subtracted from your alliance's score for each match. Many folks think removing the foul points gives a better metric for this year's game because of the high value and erratic enforcement* of penalties.
Note: AIUI, Ed does not use the Twitter data to remove foul points if it is not complete for that event. So you won't see unpenalized CCWM for MOKC in his spreadsheet.
