1) Is there a way to drag/drop reposition a background image?
Doubleclick with right button
2) Is there a way to make images transparent? I tried fiddling with the gamma slider but it did not do anything for transparency.
No
3) Is there a way to crop off arbitrary sections of a background image? Some of the sketch pages also have cross-sections, and those will seriously confuse things when trying to place objects. I would like to crop them out.
You should do it in external photo editor but in xTherion you may easy switch order of background images.
4) Is this something that I need to do in an external image editor like Gimp? I have not used Gimp in several years. The learning curve is daunting.
Try any simple photo editor - most of them are able to crop a part of image. Adobe Spark https://www.adobe.com/express/ https://www.nchsoftware.com/photoeditor/index.html <https://www.nchsoftware.com/photoeditor/index.html> and many more. As a tip: compile with sketch included as .xvi may help you much.
