When selecting an object with the edge seeker option, is there away to fix a
part if the selection is ones hand moves and an area not intendted to be
selected is. If I try to move the curser to the undo edit area the selection
also goes up there and I can't undo the mistake without starting all over
again.

Also after selecting something i.e a person and inverting the selection and
tring to blurr the selection area, it there away to stop having a halo or
glowing area around the person or thing you are trying to blurr around?

Yes, just hit the Delete key on your keyboard to undo the last step. Also,
you can keep hitting the Delete key to backup as far as you need to.

Not that I know of but with the point to point Z = undo will go back a point
each time you press. But dont forget "Edit Selection " will allow you to
modify with a paint brush and you can add to a selection and remove from
selections
