IMO, it's better to start out learning from scratch so that you can actually achieve what you want without having to rely on tools, or be able to fix things when the tool you're using doesn't work correctly. You'll want to start out learning HTML and CSS, and then JavaScript.
W3Schools Online Web Tutorials is a good place to start.
As for web tools... If you go the manual route, all you'll really need is a text editor. I suggest Notepad++ and/or Sublime Text.
For IDE's, there's several choices; off the top of my head:
Open source - Kompozer
Microsoft: Web Expressions
Adobe: Dreamweaver
You can make more advanced pages that require a webserver as well, with languages such as PHP or ASP.NET (using VB.NET or C# as a code-behind).

Dream Viewer and Netbeans are useful for this.

If you're running OS X, then give Coda 2 a try. It's my personal favorite.
