Yes. It wouldn't be much use if it didn't.

Yes. I don't see any reason why the pointer should be over the specified
element. The function just transforms the pointer's x/y by the transform from
the pointer event's coordinate system (the window coordinate system) to the
specified element's coordinate system. It's just a transform after all.
