Move tool has a pick layer or guide mode, it will select the topmost
layer that is non transparent for the pixel you click.

In preferences->Tool options, configure the "move tool" to "set the
layer or path as active".

Sorry -- it is not my fault this is hidden - I'd  rather keep this at
the tool options dialog for the move tool.

I don't believe that you can. For one, generally speaking, GIMP is a
raster-based image program and thus does not have the notion of objects. If
you don't want to keep going back and forth between the Layers dialog and
your image, then another option is to right-click on the image, go to Layer
and pick an option. Most of those options also have shortcuts on the
keyboard, so you could also utilize those.
