Buzz in electric guitar recording
I use some sort of synthesizer or something that has a plug in,plug out,line in, line out. I plug my guitar into it and then into an amp so I can hear it, then I use a 3.5mm aux cord to plug into my computer. I use audacity to record because I couldn't figure out the daw or whatever virtual recording studio things. When I record the guitsr has a low buzzing sound on it throughout the whole track. Through noise cancellation I can cut it out a little but it still sounds wierd. How can I record a better sound?

Additionally, if I purchased this

Would I be able to record my guitar and a microphone at the same time and plug it into my computer using an aux cord?

Unfortunately, the answer to your question is no... The device you linked to is a Behringer mixer. It is not designed to record audio to your computer. Although you could do it in theory, it's not the right way to record. Like some other folks have suggested, your best bet would be to invest in a low-cost audio interface with a high impedance input for your guitar. Also, since you want to record vocals and guitar simultaneously you're going to want to get yourself a two-channel interface. Lastly, make sure you get an interface with phantom power should you ever decide to record using a condenser mic. Read more on phantom power here.

This Behringer interface might actually do the trick. At 30 bucks, you're not going to get a super high-quality piece of gear, but for someone just getting into recording, is a pretty small investment.

Hope that helps. Good luck!
