I'm pretty new to digital art, so what's a way to create a non-messy looking lineart (by tracing over/lining a sketch)? What line width would you suggest?

You could use a picture off of Google and put into into a layer, then get a transparent layer and trace it? But then you'd have to credit the original picture owner.

I'd rather do it by tracing over a sketch I've created, not tracing someone else's work.

Hmm may I see some of your work to know where you stand with digital art? :3

I just trace over the sketch, and re-trace that until I get good lines :3 I use 1 width at first then go up to 1.5 then 2 and so forth until I'm satisfied with the result. I use MediBang, by the way

I've never used Gimp, but I know a lot of programs (I use MediBang, but I know FireAlpaca and SAI have it as well as others) have a stabilizer tool. You could try using that to help clean up your lineart. ^^

I use MediBang Pro and found that making multiple layers (the first layer being a picture of the original sketch) and tracing over until I'm satisfied with the line art. Using a smaller brush size at first then using a larger brush where needed. It takes practice, but it's not too hard once you've found what you are looking for.

This is actually not allowed.
