I also want the sound on the tape, but still be able to hear what is happening through my headset. How do I do that? Can I somehow split the signal?
You can buy a 3.5mm jack convertor. It will split the audio output into two. Check out your local electrical retalier

The plan was to play with my computer monitor, and just let the VCR record everything I do on my screen.
Then hook up the video out on your graphics card to the AV in of your VCR, then select the dual monitor (mirror) display in the Display settings of control panel. Note: the game "may" be seen as a video overlay... meaning you can only see it on one display at a time.

Does anybody know how the quality on the tape will be? Does it get as good at seen on the screen?
I will import much of the material from the tapes into my computer, is there any loss in quality, and if there is, which programs should I use to tune the signal etc?
Exactly the same as any other VHS recording from TV

However, if you have a decent PC, why not use FRAPS (http://www.fraps.com/download.htm) and simply record the action straight to your harddrive?

Big thanks to Marc Peters, and everybody who intend to write an reply!
No problem Why not make a video out of your recordings and enter in the competition?
