I've tried doing this myself, but I can't get the hang of the path/pen tool, and I don't clean it very well with the eraser.

Part of your problems is not inexperience in using Gimp tools (although that is a factor) it is the quality of the images you are using.

As well as the regular selection tools, consider using a layer mask to hide the background. The advantage is you can easily 'touch up' the image, painting black to uncover and white to hide in the mask.

So you might have something like this.
A less than perfect path, to a selection. The selection used to create a black/white layer mask. Then a bit of TLC around the edges to improve the result.



Anyway, try this Gimp file.

See if you can improve the layer mask before exporting to a png (and the poor kids missing the top of his head )

Is it possible to warp a rain coat around him in that image?

Short answer is no.
