Without a router any attacks are made directly against MS Windows (or mac sys) and your machine. That's not even close to safe. Windows is full of holes. You do not want to face the Internet directly, espedcially with a full time cable/dsl connection. With a router, your IP address and everything else on the network is hidden behind the firewall. Much safer.
ZA is still good to have outbound because it lets you know when programs (many from MS) want to go out to the internet for no apparent reason. This can help you stop various malware/trojan/etc as well as keep MS programs from phoning home for no apparent reason. If your router is doing it's job, ZA will not have anything to do inbound.
Better routers can control both but most home gear is not set up to handle outbound traffic very securly.
