Scaling down requires that you throw away information in some way - the
method in which you do this may or may not minimize the perceived loss of
"sharpness".  As Alex said, try NoHalo to see if it suits you.

Chances are your default keyboard shortcut for pasting is to simply
"Paste", which will create a new floating selection that will need to be
anchored before you can paste another floating selection.

I would recommend that you consider changing the keyboard shortcut for
"Ctrl-V" to be "Paste as new layer" (edit-paste-as-new-layer).  This will
likely give you the functionality you may be expecting.
