For your first question - PaintTool SAI is a Japanese painting program that mimics the flow and texture of actual paint, which can create some nice effects - though it's limited in regards to more technical stuff.
And even though I used the term "Vector" in here, they aren't really true vectors, just paths that use a sorta vector-like functionality for control and resizing ease. With GIMP the closest thing you can get is the Path tool (which I don't have a lot of experience with), for real vector illustrations you'd want to get Adobe Illustrator, and the closest freeware program like GIMP I've found with similar functionality is a program called Inkscape. I have heard, however, of a plugin for GIMP that provides vectors using the GIMP structure.
Hehe, sorry for the wall of text and hope you found this helpful!
