How can i release the pointer sourceImage after finishing using it. 

Glib::RefPtr<Gdk::Pixbuf> sourceImage = Gdk::Pixbuf::create_from_file(inSourcePath.c_str());

As mentioned, you don't need to release it. Just let the RefPtr go out of scope and it will be released automatically. However, if for some reason you do want to release it manually, you can simply call sourceImage.reset()

You don't release it.

When [object] goes out of scope an unref() will happen in the background and you don't need to worry about it anymore. There's no new so there's no delete.
