1) Generally with default fresh install settings you go to System Tools --> 
Screensaver - there set "lock screen after" 0 minutes and "Disable Screen 
Saver" . It should stop screen from autolocking. Additionally you can go to tab 
"Advanced" and uncheck "Power Management Enabled"

2) There are several ways. Two of them proposed in replies.
Here another two:
2a) in Reddit thread 
https://reddit.com/r/Qubes/comments/es02rc/how_can_i_send_a_screenshot_from_dom0_to_a_vm/
 user KingZiptie proposed convenient method of creating Action in Thunar. To do 
this right click on empty space on Dom0 desktop --> Desktop Settings --> Icons 
tab --> enable at least "Home" (or all existing for convenience) ; then open 
Thunar through any of newly appeared shortcuts. In upper menu choose "Edit" --> 
Configure custom actions --> click "+" --> and here examples for commands
Name: "Move to vault" (since vault has no network access and already has 
extended functionality for copying to other VMs)
Command: qvm-copy-to-vm vault %F && rm %F
This command will copy file(s) to vault VM and delete file(s) from Dom0

Name: "Copy to vault"
Command: qvm-copy-to-vm vault %F
This command will copy file(s) to vault VM while keeping original in Dom0

In "Appearance Conditions" tab check all six checkboxes.

Additionally you can right click on Pictures folder --> Send To --> Desktop 
(Create Link) - this will create desktop shortcut for quicker access to 
screenshots.

2b) And another method that can be longer to startup but can be more convenient 
in a long run (and compliments well to previous methods)
Install https://github.com/evadogstar/qvm-screenshot-tool from Qubes 
Contributed Packages repository using instructions here 
https://www.qubes-os.org/doc/installing-contributed-packages/
This tool allows to copy screenshots to any AppVM from screenshot window. I 
haven't tried it myself yet but gonna try later since it looks really useful.
