Gparted should be able to partition USB flash drives. Ubuntu disk utility should be able to do it also, you need to make sure it is not mounted first. In the disk utility there is an option to unmount the device. Failing that, fdisk should definitely work if you are happy with the command line.

I have installed Linux to USB drives before and they boot just fine. Remember to install grub to the USB drive.
