Some Newbie Questions - Window Capture

Hi,
I am brand new to OBS and am just getting started. I want to use OBS to capture video on my computer, primarily from Zoom. Here are a few questions that I am kinda stuck on.

1) Is there some sort of "selector tool" to select the area I want to record? I have noticed that you can record a "window" and then adjust things by holding down the Alt key.

2) I record legal video and these are often several hours. I don't need the best quality and want to know how to adjust the capture so it isn't super large. Can I record in a compressed format (mpeg4/.h264)? Or do I need to compress it afterwards? I want the file size to be relatively small because I have to upload it.
