Not sure you really want to use slices here. They're typically for building 
complex pages from large composite images. I don't really think slices are 
the way to go for presenting pictures.

Yes, you resample down using bicubic or bicubic sharper. Size is your 
choice, but is often between 500 - 1000 pixels (long dimension). You don't 
have to worry about ppi. Just change your pixels sizes in the image size 
dialog. That works.

If your image is color (RGB) you want to convert to sRGB for web viewing as 
well. Image > Mode > Convert to profile.
