There is no need to go through GIF. Simply export as a greyscale
Sprite. The greyscale option is available with any kind of export in
256 (or fewer) colours, so to get it for Sprites, you need to switch
to 256 colours first.
And, of course, as Richard has remarked, switching to a greyscale
screen mode is even easier, though I would not do it via
Boot>Configure>Screen as he suggested, because that would configure it
permanently. Just go to the Display Manager and switch from there.
