So driving will be no problem. Although if you want to go to Salzburg you can get a Bayernticket for the train which runs every hour and takes about 2hrs to get there. No need for a car at all. Of course if you want to drive around and explore the car will be better. There are some nice towns on the way to Innsbruck - especially if you drive towards Garmisch Partenkirchen and over the Mountain. Again, driving should not be a problem weatherwise.
Doing one day in Munich is a not much. Honestly if this is your first trip and as you have limited time i would skip Landshut and Regensburg. They are nice places but with the time limit i would not go. Landshut by car is about 45 Minutes to an Hour - Regensburg even further.
Take the S-Bahn (Suburbantrain) to Dachau, do the concentration camp, the castles in Munich, Olympicpark etc. you will see more than enough.
Hope that helps. If you need more info feel free to PM me

I'd second this and suggest you plan at most one further destination. Going to Salzburg and back in a day by train would probably be the nicest choice. The train ride is through a beautiful scenery, with great views of the alps, and Salzburg in November shouldn't be too overcrowded (although most of the time it is...). And it'll be less stressful than the autobahn (which is overcrowded, so even though there is no speed limit on parts of this stretch, the effective one can be 50mph or so, so it's not worth it). In Salzburg you do not need a car because all of the interesting things are in the pedestrian zone. And parking is a mess anyway.
Dachau and vicinity is half a day. Even though the place is depressing, you will leave it a changed person and probably appreciate democracy more than you ever did before.
So, with one day Salzburg and half a day in Munich, you have 1.5days left and if you include your jetlag, you'll probably need this...
