What format are these seamless images from vector stock ? A vector image should be filename.svg Is it that or something else? If you can give an example, so much the better.
The next thing is Gimp does not use real-world units, it uses pixels. If the image gets printed then a pixels-per-inch (ppi) value is used. Example: 1" x 1" @ 300 ppi = 300x300 pix or 1"x1" @ 72 ppi = 72x72 pix What is the intent of a final image, printing or web display - it does matter.
Tiling is straight forward.
Export your tile as a png.
Put it in the gimp patterns folder possibly something like /Users/MyName/Library/Application Support/Gimp/2.8/patterns
Open a new blank image
Bucket fill with settings like this:
