Yes, use After Effects CS4 to open the project created in After Effects CS4. Operating system doesn’t matter.

Projects are cross-platform, so there should be no problem opening a project created on one operating system using After Effects on another operating system. (There are some small caveats.)
If I understand your scenario correctly, the problem was trying to open an After Effects CS4 project with After Effects CS3.

The previews built into the templates that come with After Effects had to be inserted in a somewhat manual way. If you’re really interested, I can try to dig up the information on exactly how and maybe make a blog post about it. But it’s not an easy or automatic thing.

from “Installation, activation, and registration” in After Effects CS4 Help:
“In addition to the full version of Adobe After Effects, you can also install additional copies on additional computers to use as After Effects render engines to assist with network rendering. You install render engines in the same manner as the full version of the application, but you do not activate them. You run the render engine using the Adobe After Effects Render Engine shortcut in the Adobe After Effects CS4 folder.”

> Anyone know a way to select multiple clips and change the Interpret Footage settings for all of them? Doing it one-by-one is a pain. I also wonder if there’s a way to have AfterEffects automatically Interpret the footage using the “interpretation rules.txt file in the Application folder? (I’m on a Mac)
I think the last two sections of this page should help you:

There are several tutorials and articles linked to from the “Importing and using 3D files from other applications”. You could peruse these and see if they give you a good sense of what the features are and how easy they are to use.
