If you buy something at a hardware or paint store labelled "acetone", it should also specify the purity, or perhaps the maximum impurity (something like "98% pure" or "< 0.5 % water")

Acetone nail polish remover probably won't. It should have an ingredients list, but that only tells you what's in it, not how much.

It's a good bet that the bottle labelled "acetone" is considerably more pure than a bottle labelled "nail polish remover", because most nail polish removers I've seen have significant quantities of other solvents (ethyl acetate, for example).

Does non acetone polish remover work just as good?

This is a loaded question. While non-acetone nail polish remover will take off varnish just fine, it will generally take longer-meaning it will still dry nails out. My personal opinion is: use polish remover with acetone. It will dry out your nails the same amount as non-acetone remover but with faster results.
