Like when you upload a video on your computer, and then watch it, and watch the ad fully no skipping, Does that generate revenue, or does that view not count due to the same IP as you Uploaded it on?

I don't use AdSense, I'm with Machinima.
 
Adsense will disallow the payment/credit the advertiser, but your video will still have the view.

^ this. And YouTube will only count 1 of your views as an actual view.

If you don't know what I mean by this, when a video has less than 301 views, anytime the page is refreshed the view count will go up. If you look at your analytics it will tell you the real view count, and will only count 1 of your views, no matter if you refreshed your page 301 times. The video will not update past 301+ until you've reached 301 real views, meaning 300 views other than your own.

Hmm, I have also heard of people leaving their videos on Uploaded Playlist and let them play non stop. So that works then? o.O

It will make the video seem like it has more views, up until 301+, but it won't count as a view.

Whenever a video has less than 301 views on the video page itself, the number will increase anytime the page is loaded. It will lock at 301+. Then YouTube goes and looks at your views and only accepts what they consider to be views. They will basically deduct anything they don't consider to be a view. They only count one view from your IP address, so whether or not you refreshed your page 300 times, it will only count as 1 view.

Let's say you have a video that shows 301+ views, and you refreshed it 250 times. YouTube will only count 51 real views on the video. 50 form other people, and 1 from yourself. The video will be stuck at 301+ until you get 250 views from other people.

Once a video is passed 301, it does not update with every page refresh. It will update when YouTube audits the views, which seems to be random, and they will only take what they consider to be a real view.

Just because it's at 301+ doesn't mean you refreshed the hell out of it, it just means that YouTube looked at the views and didn't count anything they didn't consider to be a real view.

Videos will get stuck at 301+ for a while if you don't get a lot of traffic. I have videos that have been stuck at 301+ for months now because they haven't quite made it to 301 real views yet.

Just curious, was it this one? /watch?v=8y66N9Aatus
If you look under your stats or analytics, it gives you the real views from last time it was updated, It's at 293 views, so it needs 8 more real views for the 301+ to update itself.
