After the rain every day, I have some mold growing on the bricks. I don't want to use a pressure washer because I don't want to wash away the sand between the bricks. Is there something that I can spray on them, scrub them with a brush and then rinse...I mean something that will work well?

10% bleach solution works wonders. If you want you can even go with a 25% bleach solution. Cheapest and extremely efffective solution for eliminating mold.
I typically put some bleach in a pump sprayer, add water and add a little (~1/2 teaspoon liquid detergent). I then spray on whatever surface I am trying to clean. Let it sit for 5 minutes and then simply hose off. The soap is there to better wet the surface.
