I know that clicking on:

<a href="http://www.example.com">Click here</a>

would quit the current page and go to this address, and that 

<a href="http://www.example.com" target="_blank">Click here</a>

would open it in a new tab (default behaviour in Chrome and Firefox).

But how to have a button such that clicking on it would open the external website in a new browser window, possibly 700x500px? (like if you do New window in Chrome menu)

You cannot do that with pure HTML - to achieve the result you need JavaScript.

<a href="http://www.example.com" onclick="window.open('http://www.example.com', 
                                         'newwindow', 
                                         'width=700,height=500'); 
              return false;">Click here</a>

However, this solution is vulnerable to be pop-up blocked.

As @Rob M. suggested, here you can read everything about window.open().
