How do I move my mouse and click in c++?
As always, I recommend https://github.com/OneLoneCoder/olcPixelGameEngine :) It's just one header, so you just include it in your project and you're good to go.

I'm struggling
And if you want to try making a small game with rudamentary graphics, but not go full OpenGL/DirectX, take a look at OLC pixel game engine. It's a one header graphics library that will allow you to draw simple shapes, text, etc. perfect for prototyping or making very simple games. Eventually you'll want to try making Pong to take your training to the next level, so this will be perfect for that.

Intermediate level systems programming projects/textbook recommendations?
A game: you could learn how to use a cross-platform library like SDL or you could write your own from scratch. Here's a really simple example of a video game implemented for windows using nothing but native API calls. If you're using linux, it would be a fun exercise to convert that to X11 calls.

I've never used WASAPI, just DirectSound (example), so I can't say much. I managed to get this WASAPI example to work with Mingw-w64 on Windows, though not Wine:
