the paths work fine, at least in linux with the devel gimp. this includes paths that are not closed (it just makes the last line for you, same way photoshop does it) the easiest way is the make your path and then click in the middle (the cursor changes to give you a hint that you can do this)

Well. If you are wanting to resize the selection (the border thing) and not the contents inside, you can use image/Select/Shrink... and Grow... but that only makes a selection bigger or smaller, from all sides. AFAIK, there's not a way to simply "drag and resize" your selection, li
