1. Time Machine will reformat it if it needs to. If you’re using a different backup product or are backing up manually, choose Utilities from the Finder’s Go menu, open the Disk Utility, and reformat it as Mac OS Extended (Journaled).
2. Unless you’ll only be backing up your documents, it isn’t.

Looking at the info you posted, you've used almost 30 GB of your available storage; if you intend to back up all of that, you need at the very minimum more than 30 GB space - the 8 GB on a flash drive aren't going to make it.
