Just an installer convention; desktop/icons/hicolor gets merged into
/usr[/local]/share/icons/hicolor during install on a POSIX-like system,
and for standalone runs it's where the

Tool icons are conventionally named with mypaint-tool- as a prefix, and
go into desktop/icons/hicolor/$size/actions/mypaint-tool-$name.$ext .
gui/stock.py initialises extra stock icons to that icons can be loaded
by name or constant.

As I read it they should be 1px at all scales. When I'm scaling an icon
down (or up), I turn off "when scaling objects, scale stroke width" next
to "Affect:" on the Inkscape toolbar, then I realign nodes or edges to
the nearest pixel so it'll alias nicely.
