Is this possible?

Yes.

Is it overly complicated for a newb?

Yes.



If you're new to All Of This Stuff, it's probably good to start with separate views for separate functionality, and then later try to merge those - it involves an amount of abstraction that's just too confusing, I find, when you're trying to learn lots of other crafts at the same time.

That said, check out [url="http://ellislab.com/forums/viewthread/108698/"]this thread on Insert and Update in the same view[/url] - it might give you some pointers on doing this.
