do they lose their quality? - see Blighty's reply on scaling up and down and working in pixels.
Does their resolution change? The image resolution pixels-per-inch (ppi) only applies when you come to printing. It is set when you create a canvas and in Image -> Print Size Copying the "external graphic", either by copy/paste or File -> Open as Layers takes the resolution ppi setting of the "copied into" (your first) image.
Does resolution in general changes during scaling? No. The resolution setting is not changed during scaling.
