Create the partition table using GPT (the GUID Partition Table), which is fully supported by Linux and the default for Windows.
Format the drive in FAT32, then install Linux on it. The native format of flashdrives is FAT32, and it is easily read by both Linux and Windows without any drivers or special apps. NTFS could be used as well.
However, I have had problems with Windows corrupting ext4 drives with the ext series of drivers to read/write Linux native partitions, so I avoid recommending it until I know how to solve those problems.
