At the top of the zone.

No, not bundled with QuickDNS. However, there are a few scripts
included with QuickDNS that iterate through all zones. Take a look
at, for example, the "Find & Replace Hostname" script. It goes
through all zones and, among other things, examines the SOA record,
making a change if necessary.
You could simply remove every other type of change this script makes,
and have it change the default TTL.

No, that's not correct. The gTLD servers do not actively query your
server. Other servers query them, looking for your server, but only
when they're asked to do so.
DNS servers are not active, they're reactive.

Yes, that's a useful way to describe it. It would mean running a
third DNS server (or using someone else's DNS server) to host your
zones, somewhere off-site.
