Yeah, Preview has supported auto-save since 10.7.
The general preference pane has an option to ask to keep changes when closing documents. It can also be applied to individual applications:
defaults write com.apple.Preview NSCloseAlwaysConfirmsChanges -bool true
You can also disable auto-save and Versions completely:
defaults write com.apple.Preview ApplePersistence -bool false
The fill colour is in the same toolbar, see pic…

If you do a command-shift-4 (the command to do a screenshot of a selected region) your cursor turns into crosshairs and listed with the crosshairs are the x,y coordinates.
