Buttons can be remapped in the "Controls" options menu.

Cursor movement speed can be changed by editing the controllerPointerSpeed option in ux0:data/OpenXcom/options.cfg.

Mod suppor

RAM is pretty limited on Vita, so there's a chance that game would just crash with heavy mods installed.

Other

You can change game resolution in the "Video" options menu.

320x200 provides the best performance. 480x272 with Display Mode set to "Fullscreen" and Geoscape Scale/Battlescape Scale set to "Full Display" provides great visuals (x2 pixel scaling) while still having good performance.

"Fullscreen" display mode scales game surface to fullscreen. "Windowed" mode centers the game area w/o scaling it.

You can skip intros by tapping on screen.
