This is probably where you want to get into GarageBand. You would want the music on one track and your voice on the other. As far as noise that depends on your room and your mic placement/proximity. If you just use the mic built into your mac you're going to get a lot of room noise and sounds from the hard drive etc. Instead I would hook up something external and be close to the mic to overcome any ambient noise.

    Can you edit the volume in quick time?

    anything fancy. Others can recommend better apps such as
    GarageBand which has a lot more features. Generally with Quicktime
    you can trim junk off the beginning or end fairly easily. Load up
    your clip and then choose Trim from the Edit menu (or hit
    Command-T). That puts you in the editor where you can navigate to
    the "multiple indicators timeline". Interact with that and you'll
    find two draggable indicators for start time and end time. You can
    jump between those with VO-Up and VO-Down. To change the value of
    either one you interact with it and then VO-Left or VO-right.
    Plain old home and end moves the play head to either end of what
    you have left. Once you have the positions where you want them
    stop interacting with the timeline (you will have to VO-shift-up
    twice) find the trim button and action that. Escape will take you
    out of edit and all that's left is what you didn't trim. Then you
    can choose iTunes from the Share menu to dump your trimmed audio
    into iTunes to do whatever you like with it.
