FYI: no balance is not good. For a beginner I'd suggest feral.harharhar. Being a bit more precise in the terms you chose would help people not to grow prejudiced for no reason...
Feral is generally advised as the druid levelling spec because it is the fastest : your mana refills itself while you fight some mobs, and if your health is to low you can simply get back to caster form and heal yourself and then morph back and go on (plus some speed increase talents).
It is perfectly doable to level as balance, simply your damaging spells and healing spells draw from the same reousrce pool (ie mana), so that you'll often find yourself having to sit down to drink or let mana regenerate. Mana on melee from moonkin form does alleviate this a little bit but it'll stay noticeably slower then feral, especially since there isn't that much starting gear for casters .
Raiding means doing an instance in groups of more than 5 persons basically. The first raids are for level 55-60 players (Blackrock Spire) and are mostly deserted now, meaning you'll probably have to wait for level 70 before raiding. There are instances for 5 man groups right from the start though (lvl 17-18 on the alliance side, and even lower on horde side) which you can do as soon as you have the required level and find a group of people.
For levelling purposes (ie short fights of 1-2 mobs), i advise starting with 2 starfires (3 if you have celestial focus and if procs) and then wrath until it dies. If it hits too hard, you might want to root as soon as it reaches melee range, pull back, and start with starfire again. Or just put up both dots (moonfire and insect swarm) and wrath away to get it killed faster.
If you are in moonkin form, it's advisable to whack the last bits of the mobs life in melee (as long as it's not much more than 2-3 hits) as it allows your natural mana regeneration to start earlier and also gives you mana back through moonkin form's "man on hit".
And go read the link provided by arinelf4, they will cover most of your questions and probably much more.
