Does this mean Rendrjs applications will run in a JavaScript disabled browser? That would be a big win!

Yep! Because links use full URLs which get intercepted by JavaScript, if JS is disabled, you can still navigate around the app, getting full HTML from the server. Of course, any client-specific code wouldn't run (slideshows, etc).
So far, this is the most convincing argument I've heard for Rendr.
I'm a little confused here. Maybe I'm just not seeing it, but how does that make Rendr any different from any other server-side framework that responds with HTML?

Because you're using the same JavaScript code for rendering on either the client or the server.
