There are mechanical mouse platforms, pseudo-mouse USB devices, and even
software emulated mice.

I hope, xfce uses standard interfaces.

Inhibit is active only while a process invoked it is alive, but there
are off the shelf tools.
light-locker-command --inhibit \
--application-name "inhibit-dialog" --reason "User action" \
-- env WINDOWID= \
zenity --warning --title "Screen lock inhibited" \
--text "Activation of screen lock is suppressed"
As to monitor settings, perhaps they may be changed from its menu. If
your are lucky then they are exposed to DDC control tools.
