The "Toolbox" is really only the upper part (tool palette and 
color/brush/pattern indicator). What you have in Toolbox1 is a "Dock" 
with the Toolbox and the "Tool options" dialog (that shows Paintbrush 
options because the active tool is the Paintbrush). What you have in 
Toolbox2 is a "dock" with the Toolbox and the Layers/Paths/Channels dialog.

You can get the Tool options dialog to display using "Windows/Dockable 
dialogs/Tool options". Once it is open, you can drag it (by the tab 
inside, not by the window title bar) to the dock where you have the 
Toolbox (the tabs of the other dialogs, or the double horizontal lines), 
to add it to the dock. See here:

Ps: when you have such problems, reinstalling Gimp is usually not the 
solution. See here:
