I have a pair of clown fish that are really young, I got them a few months ago and they are about 1 inch/3 cm both same size as far as I can tell. But it is obvious which one is the dominant one, playfully chasing the other one every now and then. But I noticed that the last few days the one in the pictures has been going close to the rock and the sand investigating. So my question is, is there a chance it can be pregnant? Or should I feed a bit less? [emoji1]

Those are nice onyx clownfish. Regarding your question, 1" are still juveniles clownfish, so wouldn't be pregnant..LOL
Now both being almost the same size, could be a problem. If they are starting to fight, in most cases could get worst. If one is hiding in the rocks is because he is stress and avoiding further being picked on. Keep your eyes on them.
 
At that size and age most likely not mature enough yet, and sounds mostly normal, I don't see anything from pics that should bring concern.
You'll probably begin to see more noticeable size difference between male and female, she will grow faster.
