xfce4-screenshooter is the standard screenshot program in XFCE on Xubuntu.

How can I configure the settings about which format it saves the screenshot in and in which folder?

I noticed, that my settings I made in shutter also affect the settings of xfce4-screenshooter (but not all).

EDIT:
The man page sais, there is an -o option to open it with an external program.

How can I make this default? Then I could set there an external program, that automatically compresses the screenshot to an emailable size
