Answer 1

a wired and wireless mouse works the same way. The only difference is instead of the signal being sent through a physical wire into the USB port of your motherboard, the mouse has a wireless transmitter, which sends the signal to the usb dongle plugged into the usb slot. It’s the same function, you just replace a physical wire with some kind of transmitter, be it bluetooth or 2.4GHz radio, or whatever protocol the wireless transmission is operating over.

But the workings of the mouse itself is the same.
