I am planning on installing Ubuntu on an external hard drive. My question is where does data get saved when I use this OS? For instance, if I create a folder on the desktop of Ubuntu where is that information being saved? Ideally, I want all data related to my Ubuntu OS stored on the external drive… Is this possible?

It will be saved on whatever partition you install it on. As long as you can boot from the hard disk, it will save there.
