It doesn't matter what it looks like in iMovie, it matters
what it looks like on the TV screen. 2560x1920 is the
proper 4:3 ratio but if I were you, I'd use Photoshop to
resize down to 720x540  and try importing that instead.

Just as a heads up, the DPI doesn't matter at all.
You can also apply an NTSC limiter after importing.
