Two things..

1: I KNOW theres a way to disable the hud so you can take them from your cockpit, but I cant find that control (IIRC, its Shift-O or shift-p or something..

2:  Is there a way to make FS Open take screenshots and AUTOMATICALLY save them in the folder I choose?

1: See miscellaneous section of controls options screen.
2: No. Depending on the build version, screenshots are either stored in the main FS2 directory, the mod directory, or a 'screenshots' directory. In DX these are .bmp files, in OGL they are .tga files. I recommend Irfanview (use google) to convert screenshots to whatever format you like, esp. with its batch conversion feature (File menu).

Alt+Pause to pause the game without the pause box, and then Tab to get rid of the HUD.

If you have any form of graphics editor beyond paint, it should handle them (IE/Firefox do not natively show tgas, AFAIK).  You can also try finding a viewer program.

irfanview also doubles as an image viewer.

paint.net is free and will open them.
