In the image below, I traced around an object (the yellow-colored candy) using the Paths tool, then clicked on Selection from Path in the tool's dialog panel. However, the marching ants effect around the selection is still active, even after I have filled the selection with color. How can I stop the marching ants? (And also, why is it still displayed after I have made a selection from the path?)

The marching formation is for you to remember, what selection still is active. You can still use the same selection. Press Ctrl + Shift + A to deactivate that selection. It's a good idea at first to save the selection - especially the one that needed some work and isn't easily redoable. You can save it to a path or to a channel or simply fill some area with that selection in an empty layer which is made invisible.
