Use the cropping tool. Details of how to use it can be found in the help files that get installed with the application.

Where did 490 x 368 come from?
What sort of data rate are you allowing?

If you want the best then you should take a look at Sonic Scenarist:

A few things
You can’t expect tight rate control out of FCP/Quicktime Export, it’s simply not designed for that, you need an application like compressor or Episode to do that for you.
Even compressor or Episode cannot hit a datarate spot on and keep it there, no encoder can.
None of the above can perform the impossible; if you set a datarate of 400Kb/s for a 1920×1080 25fps clip there is no way it could get anywhere near as low as that.
Make sure you choose the right kind of rate control: So for example for 400Kb/s….
1 pass CBR is going to hit a rough average of 400Kb/s over say 30 secs of material, if it can. (see above)
2 pass CBR is going to be a more accurate version of the above.
VBR is going to take 400Kb/s as an average and will go to whatever peak value you have set and may drop down well below if it needs to.

Export as a Quicktime movie choosing settings the same as your sequence.
Your setup is perfectly capable of producing high quality output, even though it’s a little out of date.

Err, not exactly copy and paste but export from FCP and import into iDVD.
Compressor gives you many tools to adjust encoding parameters to squeeze the best out of video but unless you really know what you are doing it’s unlikely you’ll be able to tell the difference between iDVD encoding and compressor encoding.

Have you tried taking the sequence directly into iDVD and doing the encode there?

I don;t think you need the Pro version. I use it all the time and it’s capable of producing some of the best quality output you can get from any transcoder.
As for authoring applications – are you using a Mac or PC?
As for Cinema viewing, you need to discuss that with them directly, it would depend on what facilities they have.
