2/ Once I established the region to capture, it should remain like this. Because I need to have the ability to browse pages behind and choose which page to capture by letting the region window to remain.
3/ Capturing images will be saved automatically in a file in the background.

Do you know a tool?
You can use AutoHotKey:

https://www.autohotkey.com/

plus an AHK script:

AutoHotKey forum: "Is it possible to use printscreen to save an image"

AutoHotKey is a very powerful macro program which allows you to automate/remap nearly anything:

For example, making your mouse's side-button do complicated commands (such as taking/cropping a screenshot and saving to a file). This could turn your current workflow:

1. Take screenshot.
2. Copy/paste into program.
3. Crop image at specific points.
4. Save As
5. Make sure to save in correct location, rename filename, etc.

into a simple/fast:

1. Scroll mousewheel down to move to next page
2. Press mouse side-button
--- AHK automatically screenshots, crops, and saves image into folder.
