What DPI should I use?

300 DPI is the standard for high-quality print. 150 DPI works for draft or large-format prints viewed from a distance. 72 DPI is for screens only, not print.

Why does a bigger DPI mean a smaller print size?

DPI is pixels per inch — the more pixels packed into each inch, the smaller the physical size for the same pixel count, but the sharper the print.
