Good questions.  I'm not sure all platforms will be able to [easily]
support generating events when the pointer is out of the window, so the
common denominator would be to only generate events while in the window.

We should have mouse enter / mouse exit events.  Then many of the
questions should go away :-)

I suppose you're talking about when the mouse leaves the window, then
enters from another spot?  I think this questions also goes away with
mouse enter/exit events.

Yes to both.
