There is a switch to enable two-finger scrolling for the touchpad in the
Settings app in Ubuntu 17.10 (which will be released later this month).
If you have other issues, please open separate bugs for each issue.

Title:
Add two-finger scrolling/two-finger tapping to Touchpad options
Status in gnome-control-center package in Ubuntu:
Fix Released
Bug description:
Binary package hint: gnome-control-center
I did notice that options for touchpad tapping, vertical scrolling, and
horizontal scrolling are now included in the Mouse preferences.
This is definitely a great improvement over having to configure these options
in xorg.conf - hardly a trivial task for new Windows converts.
However, there are still a few options that can't be configured from here
that would be incredibly helpful to have here.
The particular options I am referring to are:
* Sensitivity options - this is one of the things Walt Mossberg complained
about in his Ubuntu review...
* 1/2/3 finger tap - allow these to be assigned to right, middle, or left
click as the user wishes
* two-finger scrolling - this is what Macs use by default, and the synaptics
driver allows for this.
* circular scrolling - also available through Synaptics driver
* corner taps - these are quite useful on my MacBook, as I errantly tap a lot
but still want an actual button for right-click
Also, it may be a good idea to use Mac-like defaults for appletouch
touchpads and Windows-like defaults on all other touchpads - that way,
everything behaves as the user expects it to (in most cases)...
