Unfortunately, you will have to write code to do this.  There's
RT-Extension-MandatoryOnTransition for core RT that lets you make
certain fields required during Resolve, but it won't work out of the
box on RTIR.  An engineer recently implemented mandatory fields on
resolve for a client using the callbacks available in
html/RTIR/Incident/Reply.html and html/RTIR/Incident/Display.html
(BeforeReply and ProcessArguments respectively).  You have enough rope
to stop resolution there, although you'll need to write more code to
expose only the CFs you wanted edited, and figure out where in the
already complicated UI to jam them.

It's certainly doable to create tickets in another queue after
Incident resolution (and copy data) using CreateTickets
