First of all, you need to get rid of the white background around your dots.
1. Making sure your layer has an alpha channel, click on the fuzzy select tool (majic wand) and grow your selection 1 px.
2. Go to the colour menu and click on colour to alpha. Select none. Then add a transparent layer (on top first so you can see where to join).
3.Using the path tool to connect the dots you wish to, stopping at each dot.
4. After doing one path click on 'new path' (in the paths dialog right click on the path then new path) then do another path joining more dots etc.
5. After you have done as many as you need to, stroke your paths if doing the same colour, otherwise you will need to do them as you make them.
6. Drop this layer below the dots layer so the lines do not show through the dots.
7. Add another white layer assuming you still want white in the back and drop it to the bottom.
8. Merge all visible layers.
As for gradient, yes you can add one. Do the same as in step 1 then invert your selection
Using the gradient you want to use go from left to right making sure your shape is in linear
