Let’s imagine it’s currently Wednesday the 1st. Does “next Saturday” mean Saturday the 4th (the next Saturday to occur) or Saturday the 11th (the Saturday of next week)?

Today is Friday, 3/1.
“This Saturday” - Saturday 3/2.
“Next Saturday” - Saturday 3/9.
What if it is Sunday? Does this Saturday refer to yesterday?
Only if the rest of the sentence matches the tense to make that clear.
This one is yesterday. But I personally would just say “I went to a movie Saturday” and drop the “this” entirely in that case.
This one refers to the upcoming Saturday.
If its in the past, it is “this past Saturday” or “last Saturday” (assuming its not Sunday and you are just saying yesterday).
No. This week is a rolling 7 days from the day you are on. “This $day” indicates the day that falls in “this week”. You can use yesterday on sunday or “this past Saturday” to indicate the saturday that fell the previous 7 days.
