Note that 1920 X 1080 is an aspect ratio of 1.78 (same as 16 X 9), while 4 X 3 is an aspect ratio of 1.33. So depending on the aspect ratio of the original you will probably have to crop out a part of the photo to get the 4 X 3 aspect ratio, regardless of the dimension you choose in the export dialog.

When you export the images go where you say to put them - part of the export dialogue is telling where to put the photos - typically you would make a new desktop folder and export them there (you can do that during export) but they can go anyplace on disk - they will not be in Photos unless you import them in - exporting takes the photo, applies all edits and copies it to the location you specify which can not be in iPhoto
