I'm thinking... Import my video of me playing guitar and singing, into Garageband. And then add new Garageband audio track with my backing vocal harmony.
Will this work?

If you were thinking you'd duplicate your audio track in Garageband, and change the pitch of the new track, it's harder. Your harmonies probably won't stay the same number of half steps away from the main melody, so you'll have to adjust the pitch change on most notes. (As far as I know.)
You can easily add Garageband audio into iMovie. The newer versions have a button that will import songs directly into iMovie.
