The linux distro you can install it on a 32 GB Kingston DT50 USB drive and run that distro smoothy being it installed on the previously mentioned sub drive when: using web Microsoft´s teams, creating and saving on the usb drive .docx Word documents with libreoffice using Microsoft´s Office Suite latest software , running Pseint Windows´s software using any software that lets you run windows software on linux like proton or wine( i am mentioned proton just if you can use it to run Windows´s softwares that are not games), or whatever other software to run Windows´s software that can run Pseint Windows{ssoftware, running google´s meets on browser and running the websites to make flow charts, that i can run on a Celeron G 1610 @ 2.6 GHz CPU, FOXCONN H61 MX Motherboard and 8 GB RAM PC?

Well I am not completely sure what the end goal is here are some general guidelines based on what I gathered from your post:

Install to USB?: Yes, but it is a manual process. You will likely need to learn a bit more about how the Linux boot systems work to plan appropriately https://www.tecmint.com/install-linux-os-on-usb-drive/

Run smoothly on 10 year old hardware?: Sure, but you need to keep your expectations in check. You can run almost any Linux Distribution on that, but the lower you can keep the OS requirements the more headroom there is for running applications.

There are lightweight distributions that still ship with the same core as the latest releases of Ubuntu
- https://linuxliteos.com/
- https://lubuntu.me/
- https://xubuntu.org/
There are also distributions that focus on being lightweight and are likely will take some additional care to make adjustments to.

- https://peppermintos.com/

I'd probably recommend one of the top three, although I have not used any of them personally.

Create docx documents with Libre office?: Yes, but there are still incompatibilities depending on how complex those documents are and if they use proprietary fonts.

Run Windows software?: I won't make any promises here. Sometimes you can get it to work, sometimes you can't. Best to look at Linux native alternatives instead.

Google Meet?: Yes, works fine

MS Teams?: I don't think MS Teams works well on any OS, but I have joined Teams calls in the web in Linux.
