(Was it in vs on which made this so hard to understand?) All I can think of is if when you stroke a path with say the foreground colour you get a line of that color where the path is. Wrong. Try it with different brushes... So if you would stroke the path with a selection tool you would just select the path, so why not just use path to selection. ??? Are you under impression that a selection tool selects the point you click on? Or what?

Tools are a user interface thing and the PDB explicitly doesn't give access to the user interface parts of GIMP. This sentence does not make any sense to me. To make sense, one should have a PRIOR definition of the user interface parts of GIMP. E.g., from what you write, It looks like foreground color is not in the user interface parts of GIMP. The foreground color is part of the context, which is not part of the user interface. The user interface just controls the user context. The fact that script-fu, or rather the PDB, allows to change things in the user context, such as the foreground or background color, is actually a misconception that was made early in the GIMP development. We tried later to correct this by introducing script-specific contexts. But since we didn't want to break existing scripts, we had to introduce 'gimp-context-push' and 'gimp-context-pop'. All scripts that wish to change the context are supposed to use these, so that they get their own context. This way the user context (which is what the GIMP user interface uses), is not affected by scripts. So. is there such a definition? Is it defined as any setting outside those related to save/restore-state Script-Fu API, or is there anything else accessible from Script-Fu? The code in app makes a very clear distinction between the core and the user interface. If you want to understand the details, please have a look at the code.

I do not think I can do it with the PATHs right-mouse-click menu, can I? (What I see are only choices of Paint tools. What I want is Select tools, like color select and/or magic wand.) You can't do that. Is it a defect, or an intentional decision? An alternative would be to use Script-Fu API to walk along a path; but I would need to invoke the current tool at the specified point from Script-Fu, and I can't guess how to find this with the Script-Fu procedure browser...
