1.
If I draw a rectangle and type in the size, let's say 150mmx150mm and then switch to the tool, which helps with positioning the size of the rectangle changes to 150,26x150,26mm. If I change it within this menu back to 150x150 and then go back to the rectangle drawing tool, then the new size shown within this menu is 149,735x149,735.
How can I fix this?
2. If something looks good as pdf, does this mean that it can be printed with good quality? for example:

Gimp works in pixels. There can only be whole pixels, not fractions of a pixel. If you say 150mm then Gimp will convert to pixels and round of to the nearest whole pixel. That is not exactly 150mm

Check with your printer as to what their requirements are !
How large is the print in mm? How many pixels is the image? Then calculate dpi. 300dpi will give a good print.
Gimp works in RGB. The printer works in CMYK. A colour conversion takes place. There can be some variances in colour.
