Answer 1

Swinput is a solution for simulating mouse/key events. You need to compile it probably for your kernel. Xorg provided some headers for recording mouse/key events but I think it is broken at the moment. There is a C code evtest that can be used to capture events from /dev/input/eventX, /dev/input/mice files. It can be helpful.

Edit:

The bug was fixed in Xorg record extension, so it may be working too.
