Answer 1

This gives the mouse position, works for me.

function CanvasProjectionOverlay() { }

CanvasProjectionOverlay.prototype = new google.maps.OverlayView();
CanvasProjectionOverlay.prototype.constructor = CanvasProjectionOverlay;
CanvasProjectionOverlay.prototype.onAdd = function () { };
CanvasProjectionOverlay.prototype.draw = function () { };
CanvasProjectionOverlay.prototype.onRemove = function () { };

In your initialize function;

canvasProjectionOverlay = new CanvasProjectionOverlay();
canvasProjectionOverlay.setMap(map);

and use it like this;

google.maps.event.addListener(marker, 'mouseover', function(event) { 
   var divPixel = canvasProjectionOverlay.getProjection().fromLatLngToContainerPixel(event.latLng);
   x = divPixel.x;
   y = divPixel.y;
});
