I've tried to understand what Xresolution and Yresolution are from the tiff specification, but I still don't understand how I would go about deciding the values for these fields based on the number of pixels I have in my image. I know the value of the width and height, but is there any correlation between these and the above values?

Yes, simple mathematics:

        width[pixel] = width[inch] * Xresolution[pixel/inch]
or
        width[inch] = width[pixel] / Xresolution[pixel/inch]

Note that some applications do not read or use the resolution tags, but most should.
