Since you're already using Foundation, you probably want to check out their Interchange plugin, which:

uses media queries to dynamically load responsive content that is appropriate for different users' browsers

Sounds like it may be useful for what you're doing.

If that seems like overkill, just use Foundation's Grid system to control the container sizes.

I think in Foundation, images will automatically have a max-width: 100% rule to make them shrink when their container's width is less than the image's actual/natural width.

As for background images, you might want to look at the background-size CSS property, with values of cover or contain. Check out this article on Six Revisions: Responsive Full Background Image Using CSS.
