Since you didn't specify which part you got stuck at, I'll suggest reading up on alarms first and foremost, as this is probably the most basic way of handling any timing-related thing in GM.

I would suggest giving your topics more descriptive titles, your 3 last ones have been almost identical..
You could look up state engines .. idle .. move .. jump ..
Idle could set a timer, when it runs out, choose to jump or move, if move check which direction you can move and choose one, if jump then find a free tile to move towards and maybe do some shadow trickery along the way.
state .. state_next .. when state is changed then I set a state_start, which I set to false the next step..
you could do those direction / location checks in your move / jump states in a state_start moment
For the jump position, lengthdir in a direction towards player with some random deviation to aim and jump length, can div the position found and check if it is free a few times till you find it .. or give up and return to idle/move
