Every time I save a TextEdit file 'SAVE' always goes to iCloud, even though I have been saving to another folder. Can I stop 'SAVE' from doing this?

The format menu has a toggle to switch things for you.
Pressing shift + command + T will toggle the document to plain text mode.
You can also set the default format in the preference pane for the app.
Try showing package contents in Finder and deleting all the image files.
You can then either move the rtf file outside the rtfd folder, or open the rtfd file in TextEdit, duplicate it, and save it as rtf.
