To do that I will need to monitor mouse clicks in conjunction with the mouse position, and keyboard inputs. This is, of course, simple within a Gambas application but what about when another application has focus?

I don't think there is something built-in for this. You can look at how
keyloggers monitor the keyboard. Maybe something similar exists for the
mouse. Needless to say that your application will have to run with root
privileges.
