1. I'm not 100% sure I understand you. I guess you mean that if, for
example, some code does `select-frame-set-input-focus', then the mouse
pointer will be moved to the newly selected frame. Is that right?
That's certainly true. But if that is the only intended effect of
`focus-follows-mouse', then I'd say that this option should be named
`mouse-follows-focus', not the reverse. IOW, what you describe (and what I
see) is that _if_ the focus is changed to another frame _then_ the mouse is
warped to that frame.
2. Also, people often say, rightly or wrongly, that `focus-follows-mouse' is
useless, inappropriate, ineffective etc. for use with window managers that
impose a click-frame-to-focus policy. If the only intended effect of
`focus-follows-mouse' is what you say it is, then these (common) statements
are off the mark, and whatever window manager policy one has would appear to
be irrelevant.
