Since you don't seem to be a programmer, you can't really do anything.
GIMP can't render all PSD files properly simply because it doesn't have some feature. E.g. in Photoshop gradients are often applied as layer styles, and GIMP doesn't have them.
There is support for PSD coming to Krita, another image editing application, but I really couldn't say how much it will support.
Open Gimp preferences by going to "Edit" menu.
In "Preferences" dialog box click on "Tool Options" and enable the "set layer or path as active" option.
Close the "Preferences". Now Click on your desired object and it's layer will be selected automatically. Hare's an example!

Best Answer
Select the layer and copy Ctrl+C or > Edit > Copy, then Select > File > Create > From Clipboard, this creates a new document from the copied layer, or you can just make the layer you want the only thing visible.
Then select > File > Save As... then go down to "Select File Type (By Extension)" just above the help button shown here-
Then start typing png, or scroll down to find "PNG image" , or in the box where it says "All images select that box and go down to "PNG image (*.png)"
