you have a lot of different problems here, so I think you should do
some reading first on the Mapserver web site.
http://mapserver.gis.umn.edu/
and
http://mapserver.gis.umn.edu/docs/reference/mapfile
double check your imagepath and imageurl.
the main point here is that a CONTEXT document is part of the OGC
protocols, so it has to point to a Web Map Service (WMS).
Your current mapfile is not producing a WMS. You have to add some
additional things to your mapfile to produce a WMS.
http://mapserver.gis.umn.edu/docs/howto/wms_server/?searchterm=wms%
20server
MapBuilder uses WMS Context documents to configure itself to access
WMS servers. There are also some online viewers that can do so. For
instance http://viewer.digitalearth.gov/ does this. You have to first
click on the "More Controls" link. Then you will see a text box you
can enter a URL of a context document. So you have to put your
context xml on the web somewhere, then paste that URL into the box.
Of course, that's after you know the WMS the context points to is
working.

get those things working first, and then try your context document
stuff.
another good source of information on OGC and mapserver is the OGC
workshop:

Subject: [UMN_MAPSERVER-USERS] Generating a map with mapfile
context document
Hi all, i am trying to generate a map from mapfile context
document. I have a mapfile with a raster layer,
MAP
NAME "wallmap"
SIZE 600 600
STATUS ON
EXTENT 610537 5291088 627571 5308122
IMAGECOLOR 255 255 255
IMAGETYPE JPEG
UNITS METERS

TEMPLATE "C:\Inetpub\wwwroot\index.html"
IMAGEPATH "c:\Inetpub\wwwroot\tmp\"
IMAGEURL "c:\Inetpub\wwwroot\tmp\"
END
LAYER
NAME "raster1"
TYPE RASTER
PROJECTION
"init=epsg:26914"
END
DATA "pathtotestfile.sid"
OFFSITE 0 0 0

END
END
The mapcontext document is as follows
<?xml version='1.0' encoding="ISO-8859-1" standalone="no" ?>
