Yes. Please use 'Edit / Paste as / New pattern' command to save any
image in the clipboard as a pattern.

Yes, GIMP is already shipped with a Stripes pattern and
a Fine Stripes pattern.
In the Bucket fill tool choose Fill type=Pattern fill, press the
pattern icon and select the desired pattern from the list or grid.


If yes, is there a GIMP download link?

To get additional patterns you can follow these steps:
1. Go to the gimp-data-extras Git repository [1],
2. download and extract the ZIP archive GIMP_DATA_EXTRAS_2_0_2.zip,
3. copy the contents of the folder 'patterns' to your own patterns folder
(see Edit/Preferences/Folders/Patterns to find out that location).
4. Finally either open the Patterns dockable dialog and
press the Refresh button or restart GIMP.

This archive also contains some brushes.

The same procedure is for Mac OS X users.
Debian/Ubuntu/Fedora/Mageia Linux users get get these resources by
installing the package gimp-data-extras.

Kind regards,

Sven

Or add an image file to a patterns directory, many image file formats 
work for that.

 Yes, GIMP is already shipped with a Stripes pattern and
 a Fine Stripes pattern.

And since fine stripes were mentioned, I'd suggest visiting
http://subtlepatterns.com/.

GIMP will read PNG images as patterns, if they are dropped to the
patterns folder.

In addition to the resources  techniques already mentioned, here
are a some ways to make patterns seamless.

The quick  dirty method to make an image or doodle into a seamless
tile is with the command at Filters  Map  Make Seamless.  If the
image content you are making into a pattern is random or
blurry-looking, this method can give very satisfactory results.

A better tool for automagically making an image layer tileable
lives at Filters  Map  Resynthesize.  Tick the check boxes to make
the output vertically and horizontally tileable, run the filter, and
voila:  The layer is rebuilt as a seamless tile that very greatly
resembles the original layer.

(I freaking LOVE the resynthesizer.  It is also available via
Filters  Enhance  Heal Selection and Filters  Enhance  Heal
Transparency.)

The precise, completely manual way to make an image or doodle
seamless is to use the command Layer  Transform  Offset  Offest
by x/2, y2.  This command scrolls the layer 50% vertically and
horizontally.

Manually fix the visible seam that appears across the horizontal
and vertical center of the transformed layer, and it becomes a
seamless tile.  The Clone, Heal, and Smudge tools are potentially
useful here, as is the iWarp gadget in the Filters  Distorts menu.
 The Heal Selection filter mentioned above may also come in handy.
As long as you do not change the edges of the transformed layer, it
will remain seamless.

In all of the above cases, you can test your result by repeating the
Offset by x/2, y/2 command.

Another very quick way to produce stripes (fine or not) is to use a 
gradient with a linear or bilinear shape and a triangular or sawtooth 
repetition pattern. You just drag it on a short distance (you can zoom 
in to make this easier). Another advantage of this method is that the 
stripes can easily have any angle.
