It's kind of a wsiwyg problem. For example, I have a svg image from a dxf with world coordinates so the image itself is very tiny when brought into Inkscape - I can zoom it up on the screen but then I want to print the "zoomed" display image, not the tiny original image - maybe that is called fitting display to page ?
Nah, this is not a wsiwyg problem... It's the concept of graphics apps, especially vector apps, that you can freely zoom around the canvas without changing your output. When you draw a small circle on a sheet of paper and hold it right in front of your eyes, it seems huge, still it hasn't changed its size, nor has the paper... This is the same as with the zoom tool of a graphics app... as long as you don't change the size of an object (draw a big circle on your white sheet of paper) you won't the size of the object won't change. Kinda makes sense to me.
To export an image at a higher resolution just increase the resolution in the export dialogue, that's how simple it is.
