How do you resize it?

, export as PNG or TIFF,

I don't know about Tiff, but in PNG you can enter the dpi to be used. 
You can use IrfanView to set the dpi. I don't know whether Gimp has such 
feature.

 and import into Draw.  I the past, the

Click on the image. Then press F4 which opens the "Position & Size" 
dialog (or any other way to open that dialog). Check the option "Keep 
ratio" and enter the height or the width which you want for your image.

If you intend to use the image as background, then you can set its size 
in the background dialog.

Kind regards
Regina
