I don't know which OS you are using but if you get a chance to install Gimp 2.10 I would. Often it can run in parallel with Gimp 2.8
Your second image is really mostly a bevel. There are scripts / plugins that bevel, however all basic Gimp 2.8 with reference screenshots:

1) Fill the shape selection as required
2) Make a new Black layer for a bumpmap and fill with a white- to black gradient.

3) These small images suffer from gradient banding so blur the selection.
4) Stroke the selection. Use an odd number for some anti aliasing

5) For bump mapping, choose the bump layer
6)The light direction, hence the highlight depends on the Azimuth value
Increase the offset, otherwise the border will hide the bump mapped highlight.
Increase Ambient , it will smooth a little for this small image.
7) Enable the other layers visibility
