Yes, the quoted tweet is an image because the original was deleted and the tweeter attached the screen cap.
And yes, the resolution is different because when the image is uploaded to twitter it is compressed to fit the width available for display which is smaller than an original tweet width.
I downloaded the available image of the NSAgov from the tweet and checked pixel integrity and looked for anomalies in the artifacts. It doesn't appear to be to be constructed of multiple parts and the font is accurate and has not been hastily duplicated.

FAAAAAKE. You can tell that the "quoted tweet" is actually just an image because it is blurrier than the surrounding content.
