Ok so. I want to install windows 7 on a mac. I've done it twice, the last time was with a Macbook Pro, and i bricked it. I don't wanna make that mistake again. So i want to install windows 7 on a external hard drive and use it on the Air, is that possible?

Answer
You can't brick a computer lol. Also to install windows on a mac base pc you have to use bootcamp simple as that.

Can I install an operating system downloaded to my computer to an external mac harddrive?

I already have a USB connection to the external drive to my computer
The OS for the Mac is OS X Tiger (10.4.6) and I'm downloaded this OS to my Hp Windows 7 laptop and it's in the form of an iso image..How do I proceed?

Answer
Which operating system and which computer are you downloading it on?

An external Mac hard drive can be set up as a bootable OSX system drive.
It has to be formatted with GUID partition map, and formatted Mac OS Extended (HFS+) which would be normal for a Mac drive.

You need to have a workable installer, which could be on DVD or in an ISO file.
If you have a Mac machine, you can clone the drive to the external with Carbon Copy Cloner and it will be bootable.
