The layers are like transparencies - you can only paint on to the top
transparency. If you want to do stuff without anchoring them down then
you need to raise or lower them accordingly from the Layers menu.
Not at all, when you use a paint tool it paints to the selected layer
regardless of whether where that layer is in the stack.
