I am new to the QGIS platform and have been experimenting with the tool. I currently have a Basemap layer and a Shapefile layer on top of it. Now,
- I want to import a .csv file containing (lat, long) coordinates for a set of points (say 20) as a layer.
- I want to create a layer( or superimpose in the above layer), circles of a specified radius around each of these points.
How do I do these?

It sounds like you want to buffer your point layer?
Other parts of the dialogue box are optional. You can read more in the QGIS docs: http://docs.qgis.org/2.2/en/docs/gentle_gis_introduction/vector_spatial_analysis_buffers.html
