Yet another screen size question(s)

Hi all, Ive read tons of posts on the forum and im so confused right now.
Current project settings:
1) Im using free Gamesalad on Windows.
2) screen size is for iphone 5 portrait 320 x 568 ( i dont want to make an ipad version)
3) Im modifying a template
My Questions:
1) I understand I need to double the sizes of the images for better display. So for my background ive made it 640 x 1136. I understand that the only difference in screen size between iphone 4 and 5 is the height. So if i dont make any changes to the project as is, when played on the iphone 4, will the height get cropped? Does it crop from the top or bottom? It is just a basic background of a field at the bottom and the sky on top, so if this is the case i dont mind.
2) Ive read a lot about resolution independance. Two questions about this: a) I import the larger images but am i right in assuming i still have to resize the actor with the image to fit the screen? b) Im working off a template, on gamesalad windows, where do i either uncheck or check resolution independance? I only see the option when creating a new project.
Thanks for your thoughts in advance
