You're describing exactly the situation those features are designed for. I use formtool forms on front-end constantly. In fact I try to avoid creating forms manually because ft:object, ft:processform, and ft:processformobjects take care of everything. The only gotcha is that by default the webtop form CSS is added to the page, so you may want to override that.
AfterSave is exactly the place to send that kind of email.
