Is it possible to move some selected points in a vector layer to a new or existing vector layer?

Sure! Select Points tool, select, Edit > Cut, change layer, Edit > Paste.
I use it if I draw a character all on one layer then split them up into pieces on separate layers.

Note: if the points are part of a shape, the shape doesn't stay connected if some of its points move to a different layer - you can't connect points between layers.
