Answer 1

You can use the Java Robot class directly from Matlab quite easily; something like:

robot = javaObjectEDT('java.awt.Robot');
robot.mouseMove(100, 200);
robot.mousePress(16);
robot.mouseRelease(16);

The parameters to mousePress and mouseRelease are constant values from InputEvent. You can find their values here, and the documentation here tells you which constants to use (e.g. BUTTON1_MASK, or left-click, is 16).
