How do you MOVE stuff in GIMP as there's no pointer?

No you are mistaken. Gimp is not a free photoshop and works in different ways. If you want to use Ad*be PS you should buy (rent) a copy.

Two Images (opened as layers?) Move a layer with the move tool. screenshot: https://i.imgur.com/h1T9Mo5.jpg If the layer contains transparency (such as text) you might want to enable move the active layer

Moving Text while the text tool is active ctrl-alt-click'n'drag https://i.imgur.com/rddvges.jpg if not in the text tool treat it as a layer and use the move tool.

Cutting a selection. You have not decided which Gimp to use yet (Help -> About will tell you, same as 99% of applications) , but once you get those 'crawling-ants' selection you can cut ctrl-x or use the menu Edit -> Cut https://i.imgur.com/cNbVCPF.jpg
