Both your queries have answers in basic JavaScript techniques.

When the user chooses a Window size, that size is sent back to the 
server, along with other parameters. You replace the size declared in 
the .map file either programmatically (see your favorite 
language/MapScript documentation, or via the CGI).

As the user mouses over the image, the mouse coords are picked up, 
converted from screen pixels to geo coords, and dynamically updated in 
a form input field or a innerHTML div.

When the user clicks on a location, the coords are sent back to the 
server, the feature at that location is queried (programmatically or 
via the CGI), and a window is popped up to display the information.

Just download the source code of any of the apps you like (they are 
all, or should be, open source, and most creators of such apps will be 
glad to share them), read through it (hopefully they are well 
documented), and off you go.
