I think the variable you might want is
org-export-latex-image-default-option, which you can set in your .emacs,
or on a per-file basis, see
http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/emacs-orgmode/2010-02/msg00355.html.
The problem you're describing with floats collecting at the end of a
document is a fact of life in LaTeX, and is often caused by one
too-large image. One way is to set a smaller size for the image, and another
is to ensure that [p] is one of the letters in the placement
attribute--this lets a float appear on its own page.
hth,
Tom
