For a4 paper use

\setuppapersize[a4][a4]

For setting geometry, see \setuplayout.

Semantically, \scriptsize = \tfxx, \Large et. al. are \tfa \tfb \tfc \tfd 
\tfe, but that may not give you visually the same appearance due to 
different defaults in Latex and Context. In Latex, these sizes are set as 
part of the documentclass, or size10.clo, size12.clo, etc. So, the most 
reliable way to reconstruct the visual appearance will be to figure out 
what sizes they correspond to in latex, and then set the context font 
environmet to match the latex values.
