Dealing with this separately.

The Gimp move tool will move the layer with the first solid layer it comes
across.

Even if you are on say the background layer, enable the move tool, (move active
layer OFF)

Click on a solid part of the layer you want to move, that layer becomes
temporarily active, click to move it. Let go the mouse.

Returns automatically to original layer.

Do yourself a favour and forget about how PS works.
