You need to do File -> New (Cmd-N) to get a new TeXworks window on the
Mac (I've always found it a bit odd, but I guess I've got used to it).

You need to use the 'drop down' arrow next to the file name to expand
the Save As ... dialog. You can then navigate to Mactintosh HD, and from
there to any non-hidden folder.
