Okay, honestly you're just going to have to start looking at guides on learning Max or play around with it yourself. Its not that we can't help you, but giving you a guide on every little thing is a bit silly.
I'm assuming by landforms you're talking about terrain objects and such? All you'd have to do is merge/import it into your scene unless you're creating it right then and there. As for backgrounds, if you're talking about background textures than you could do a few things. The simplest would be going to Rendering->Environment and adding your bitmap into the Environment Map slot in the window that pops up. This will make the scene you get the same background. Alternatively, you could just make a plane or something and assign it to that which works just fine as a background as well.
