You have a couple of problems there.

> tell application "InDesign 2.0"
> activate 
> set myDoc to active document
> tell active document
> save myDoc 

You don't need to put "save myDoc" inside "tell active document" -- it's
effectively doubling up, and will cause problems.

> set thePath to file path
> export document format "EPSType" to thePath

The export command formats aren't strings, and the word document doesn't
belong unless you're specifying a document outside a "tell document x"
structure. The command also needs a full path including file name; a folder
path isn't enough.

Try something like this:

tell application "InDesign 2.0.2"
 set myDoc to active document
 set thePath to full name of myDoc
 export myDoc format EPS type to thePath & ".eps"
end tell
