There are two issues here.
First the size and a peculiarity of a parametic, (.VBR) brush is the odd 1 : 3 : 5 sizes. Then there is the brush tool which introduces anti-aliasing around adjoining pixels to give the impression of smoothness. For no antialising and hard edges use the pencil tool instead of the brush tool.
For 1 , 2 , 3, .... size brushes you can easily make your own tiny brushes. see: https://www.gimp.org/tutorials/Custom_Brushes/
The required size , grayscale , fill with black and export as a .gbr (gimp brush) to your brushes folder. In use these take the FG colour. This is not new, going back to older versions of Gimp there are sets of same-shape brush in different sizes.
As an example, made a set of 4 (attached, unzip, put in your brushes folder)
Do not resize as a brush, anti-aliasing is introduced. Use at their default size.
Using the pencil tool, you can get away with just the 1x1 brush, that does resize keeping hard edges.
