I've got 2 flowerhorn that are seem like their getting ready to breed. They're digging and chasing all the other fishes off. The male is about 2 inches and female is 1 inch. Is this even possible???

I would say they look bigger then an inch. The one with the spot in the dorsal fin is 90% female, so I would say you will probably end up with eggs. But you have to remember flower horns are notoriously nasty so it could just be there normal
Behaviour, the fact they haven't slaughtered each other isnt a bad sign

Yeah I bought about 15 of these little guys to try and sell them off but seems like these two have paired up. I got them from a local breeder and he said if they grown up together they wouldn't be as aggressive but they do chase each other around from time to time.
