Answer 1

You can add MouseListener to GUI component whose top left pixel should be threated as [0,0] point, and get x and y from MouseEvent

JFrame frame = new JFrame();
JPanel panel = new JPanel();
frame.add(panel);
panel.addMouseListener(new MouseAdapter() {// provides empty implementation of all
                                           // MouseListener`s methods, allowing us to
                                           // override only those which interests us
    @Override //I override only one method for presentation
    public void mousePressed(MouseEvent e) {
        System.out.println(e.getX() + "," + e.getY());
    }
});
frame.setDefaultCloseOperation(JFrame.EXIT_ON_CLOSE);
frame.setSize(200, 200);
frame.setVisible(true);
