Some customization questions - Hollie By Golly - 03-19-2018
1. Is there a way to taper brushes when using a tablet?
2. I don't like how the all of the brushes share the same settings. Is there a way I can have the eraser have one setting (size, brush type, etc) while the brush has another?
3. When I move layers around I like to move the current layer. I have to change this setting every time I open up GIMP. Is there a way I can change this preference?

1) Yes, see the brush dynamics. You likely want one that relates pressure to size (or to opacity+size). There is none by default but you can look at the one that relates pressure to opacity. Note that the standard ones are read-only, you have to make a copy to edit it.
2) Edit>Preferences>Tool options>Paint options shared between tools
3) You can set you own defaults. But in the long run you will find that the current default is better
