Why is Vector resolution the opposite of vector addition?

Vector addition derives a new vector from two or more vectors, and vector resolution is breaking a vector down into its two or more components.


What is the result if you subtract a velocity vector to another velocity vector?

The result will also be a velocity vector. Draw the first vector. From its tip draw the negative of the second vector ( ie a vector with the same magnitude but opposite direction). The the resultant would be the vector with the same starting point as the first vector and the same endpoint as the second. If the two vectors are equal but opposite, you end up with the null velocity vector.
