When the President of the US with the approval of Congress orders the military to attack another country this authority is legitimized by?

Approval by Congress pretty well legitimizes anything. Congress makes the laws.
The Supreme Court may eventually revoke laws passed by Congress and signed by the president, but that takes time and the law is legitimate until it is revoked.

This deals with the system of Checks & Balances. The President can "check the authority of Congress" by rejecting a unconstitutional law proposed by Congress. this process is called veto.The President checks Congress when he vetoes a bill that the Congress has passed. Congress can check him if a 2/3 majority votes to override his veto.Also, the President can check Congress by using the media (the "bully pulpit") to set the agenda for Congress. Presidents also tend to have success with Congress proportional to their approval rating with the public.

Did the war powers resolution effectively limits the presidents ability to send troops into a foreign country?
Yes, which is the whole point of it. The President does not have the authority to declare war; only Congress can do that. The President does have the authority to begin emergency operations overseas, but must obtain approval of Congress for any operations lasting longer than 90 days.This, like other limitations on executive authority, only have any effect when the President obeys them or Congress enforces them. For example, the recent debacles in Libya and Syria were not approved by Congress, but the President did them anyway. Congress would have been within their rights to impeach the President, but did not do so, rendering this law essentially moot.
