I shot photos in JPEG fine + RAW using a Nikon. The resolution of the RAW images that I have edited is 733 for i ages that are something like 4000x 3200 pixels. If I change the resolution to 300, the size of the images changes to something like 1200 x whatever. Can I leave the recolution at abut 733 or can I change it?

Is this high resolution the result of shooting in JPEG fine + RAW?

The resolution is unimportant. Not a guide to quality. Don't set it to 300 blindly, unless you know the final print size. I think you aren't looking at the size in inches/mm at all.

The term resolution can have several meanings when talking about image quality. Take a look at this article which may help explain it to you.
