The growing 1 pix after selection is just to make your removing the selected area cleaner. You may need to do it a larger number depending on the size of the original pic. Something I picked up because I didn't know to do it at first. Paths are a cleaner way when using it to stroke etc as paths go along the centre of the stroke. To join your dots you can also use the free select tool but you can undo the last path point if you make a mistake where as you cannot with the free select, you need to start again (I haven't found a way to undo the last point with that tool yet anyway)
If you want your image to have a transparent background you need to have a alpha channel. To keep it do not export as a jpg as it doesn't support transparency.
Add your new background graphic as a new layer while the dots layer is still transparent and drop that layer to the bottom
In gimp there are many ways to do similar things. Don't be afraid to try different ways to get to the same end. You will then find which you prefer.
