The mouse related problems are probably due to the way input works for that specific game. Attached and normal mouse input are injected into the game's input queue in different ways. Sometimes attached input works, sometimes it doesn't. There's not a whole lot more than can be done to make it more reliable. The easiest solution would be to run the game and bot within a virtual machine. I recommend VirtualBox as a free, open-source solution, though admittedly it doesn't work with games too well. You could also try VMWare. I have done this to bot multiple characters in Dragonica in the background while using the mouse. Works good.

For your second question, I have answered this in your other thread.

I was looking into VirtualBox a bit but i don't really understand what it is. If you have time would you explain it to me?

Yes. But not in the same way as dual-booting (running only one at a time; having to reboot to get to the other). You simply have a "guest" operating system running within virtual machine software. You'll understand once you've tried it.

Depending on the VM software, you can set up access to certain folders in different ways. This typically requires you to install a guest addon into the operating system loaded into the VM. If you can't figure out how to do it, just redownload the game. It will probably take less time to do this anyways.

Yeah, after all that time spent learning virtualbox i discovered it will not work. It's using some wierd mouse imput so more or less it's having the same issue with not being able to move the mouse.
