When I view in a new tab then go to click on it as you suggest, the mouse icon literally turns into a magnifying glass with a + in it. When I do as you say and click, the picture is zoomed in and my screen only shows a close-up portion of it, not the entire image.

Nope it isn't zoomed in, that + is just because it recognizes that the source have more pixels than your monitor can show, so the first show is using a "fit the screen" size, which is zoomed out. When you click the + it show how it would look if you were looking on a proper resolution display. So you basically are switching things.

You are not zooming in the image, you just had it zoomed out from start

If it fills my screen, then it is full size, neither zoomed in nor out.

When I look at 720p content on this same screen, at screen-filling size, it looks nowhere near as pixelated as the pic in question.
