150 KB gives about 7% more room than 140 KB, so photos come out a little wider (about 1,350–1,750 px instead of 1,300–1,650 px) and sharper. Always pick the biggest size your form or website allows — it gives the best quality.

Not quite. Compressing makes the file smaller (KB/MB). Resizing changes the width and height in pixels. This tool does both when needed to reach your target.
First set the exact pixels with Image Resizer, then compress the result here. Leave Max Width empty so the size stays the same.
Yes. PNG stays PNG and keeps its sharp edges. For photos saved as PNG, converting to JPG first gives a much smaller file.
