$begingroup$
When given a function with an ordered pair as argument i.e.
Z × Z → Z given by f(m, n) = m − n − 1
How should injections, surjections and bijections be described?
Should there be a domain of tuples ie. (1,1) (1,2) (2,1) (2,2)? Or possibly an extra domain or codomain?
Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Can you perhaps extend your question with some more concrete examples of what it is that confuses you? For example give an example of a function where you're not sure whether it is injective (or surjective), together with an explanation of how you think both answers might make sense depending on how you understand the definitions?

A function from $A$ to $B$ is e.g. injective if for all $x,y in A$ we have $f(x)=f(y)$ implies $x=y$. The same definition applies whether $f: mathbb{Z} times mathbb{Z} to B$ or whatever $A$ is, as user3482749 points out. What about this confuses you?

Those aren't functions with multiple arguments. Those are functions taking a single argument in the domain $mathbb{Z}timesmathbb{Z}$. The definitions are exactly as for any other function.

Aren't 'm' and 'n' separate arguments to the function? How are injections, surjections and bijections described for this?

This absolutely is an answer to the question: the definitions are precisely the standard ones, with no changes whatsoever, because the definitions do not specify anything about the domain and codomain other than that they are sets.
