Those are a listing of the options he choose when compiling his
kernel. If you're using a pre-packaged kernel, you can see
(read-only!) what options where chosen by looking at the file
/boot/config-<version>.

More or less the same. For my AMD-based system, these are the modules
I would use if I used a prepackaged kernel :
usb-ohci
hid
mousedev
For the Intel-based laptop at work, these are the modules I would use
if I used a prepackaged kernel :
usb-uhci
hid
mousedev
(I actually don't use any modules since I compiled that stuff directly
into my custom kernels)

No, nate gave the proper command for creating a device node. If you
enable devfs, however, you will access that as /dev/input/mice (when
one or more mice exist, if no mice exist that file won't exist either).

Documentation/input/input.txt.gz.

could continue. For some reason you would simply accept this.
