Yes, those icons do look bad! It must be something about your system. I know in Linux, it's relatively easy to change the theme and/or icons. It's what I've heard, but I don't know exactly how.
This is Xubuntu. I went looking for these icons (running as root)...
The red handled scissors seem to be from here:
/usr/share/icons/elementary-xfce/actions/24/gtk-cut.png
and the awful rotate and flip icons from directory
/usr/share/icons/elementary-xfce/actions/symbolic
and these files
object-flip-horizontal-symbolic.svg object-flip-vertical-symbolic.svg object-rotate-left-symbolic.svg object-rotate-right-symbolic.svg
The icons could be from some other Ubuntu supplied theme with similar graphics.
Under preferences the "icon theme" window shows:
root/.local/share/icons /root/.icons /usr/local/share/icons /usr/share/icons /usr/local/share/pixmaps /usr/share/pixmaps /root/.local/share/inkscape/icons /usr/local/share/inkscape/icons /usr/share/inkscape/icons /root/.config/inkscape/icons /usr/local/share/inkscape/icons /usr/local/share/icons
(Why is /usr/local/share/inkscape/icons listed twice? Where does this come from???)
Assuming this list is searched in order, the /usr/share/icons would be used before /usr/share/inkscape/icons. Unfortunately the list doesn't seem to be editable.
There was no /root/.icons so one was created and the contents of /usr/local/share/inkscape/icons copied into it. Inkscape was restarted and it made no difference, same rotate/flip icons as before.
None of this addresses the icon size issue, which I assume is unrelated since it affects icons from the inkscape icons.svg and those from the OS equally.
Guess I will file this as a bug report and see what happens.
