Your example xml doesn't have a Response element, so what does the
$serviceType/ do there? And certainly
select="$qmNumberFromContext/precedingibling::QMName[1]/text() doesn't
make sense, even if preceding-sibling would be correctly
spelled. Hint: never retype your code but copy and paste.

The following works:

  <xsl:template match="/">
    <xsl:apply-templates select="/*/QMNumber[.=$qmNumberFromContext]"/>
  </xsl:template>
  <xsl:template match="QMNumber">
    <xsl:choose>
	<xsl:when test="text()=$qmNumberFromContext">
	  <xsl:value-of select="preceding-sibling::QMName[1]/text()"/>
	</xsl:when>
    </xsl:choose>
  </xsl:template>

And in XSLT 2.0 you can use:

  <xsl:template match="QMNumber[.=$qmNumberFromContext]">
    <xsl:value-of select="preceding-sibling::QMName[1]/text()"/>
  </xsl:template>
