Another day another challenge, In case you have not already figured it out.

1. Gimp does not have a neutral tool as such, just select any other tool to exit the text tool.

2. They should stick, do you mean that while using the text tool if you click on the canvas to start new text 
the text properties revert back to those in the text options dialog. That is normal.
