The Move tool can be set to one of three modes:
Layer ; Selection ; Path
If set to Selection the selection will be moved. If there is no selection then nothing will be happen.
The Move tool cannot make a selection.
If the Flip Tool (or other tool) is set to Layer then the active layer will be flipped. No need to draw around anything.
Gimp (and all bitmap editors) work in pixels. Inches (in conjunction with resolution – dpi) are used for printing. You can wish away pixels, or get used to them (the former isn’t going to happen).
