I see some white wires but they aren't hooked up to anything in the box....you can kinda see them in the first picture (the stock one)

How sure are we that the pink/purple wire is the "traveler wire" and...what is a traveler wire?

The ground wire is the bare wire, there is one in the wall and one on the new switch....I feel pretty confident about that.

There are also two black wires in the wall and two black wires on the switch....I feel pretty good about that too.

It's that forth wire I don't get. Would the wires under the other switch be different? As in....would there be a neutral wire green or white in color under there? I'm gonna look...

Thanks guys
