Yes and no. You can write a software which listen on the microphone, does
some FFT magic and send MIDI event. MuseScore will listen to MIDI events
and eventually enter pitches but will not notate rhythm.

If you don't touch MuseScore code you can use whatever dev environment you
want. MuseScore uses C++/Qt, so Qt Creator is probably the most used IDE.
In term of OS, MuseScore is developed on linux mainly I would say, but
other developers use Windows or Mac.

As Marc said, the hard part will be to have MuseScore understand and
translate live MIDI to notation. There are already different tools which
try to go from Audio to MIDI (check aubio, waon etc...). The resulting MIDI
file can be opened in MuseScore later on. Live MIDI to notation is a lot
more complex and still need to be done. In any case, I'm not sure if the
result would be valuable at all. Having the full performance in a MIDI
file, it's possible to do some global guess, with only a few MIDI event
without any tempo indication, time signature, key signature etc... the
program doesn't have much to work with.
