Make a layout with a ScrollView on top, and your image-button below the scrollview.
Example:

<!-- language: lang-xml -->
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<LinearLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
    android:orientation="vertical"
    android:layout_width="fill_parent"
    android:layout_height="fill_parent"
    >
  <ScrollView 
    android:layout_width="fill_parent"
    android:layout_height="wrap_content">
    <TextView
    android:layout_width="fill_parent"
    android:layout_height="wrap_content"
    android:text="Your Content Here"
    />
  </ScrollView>
  <LinearLayout
  android:layout_width="fill_parent"
  android:layout_height="wrap_content">
    <ImageView 
    android:layout_width="fill_parent"
    android:layout_height="wrap_content"
    android:src="@drawable/ic_launcher"
    />
  </LinearLayout>
</LinearLayout>

It looks like this:

While the home button at the bottom can be easily achieved using an image view/button,Using an action Bar is the recommended option.Not only can you link with the home activity but also any other activity of your choice.Refer this to gain a deeper insight.

Have you considered the Action Bar which is exactly designed for this purpose? http://developer.android.com/guide/topics/ui/actionbar.html

You can either place a button/image button/image anything in xml layout and set on click listener on that component. You can also use option menu and give multiple option on all the screens of your application.
