In fact we are speaking a Wacom here. This implies you do not neet to touch the screen. You can press the auxiliar button in the pen and emulate aerosol. And a wacom screen can follow the pen even 1 inch above the display.

The second part of your request, to present itself as as USB tablet device, is a bit touchy to go beyond theory. One of my students did it for a PDA with a linux kernel 2.4; the kernel was not prepared to identify the machine towards the USB bus as USB Human Interface Device, because the protocol to send HID "report descriptor" identifiers was not available. We got to implement a more primitive protocol, USB BootMouse, and the modern Windows machines were not happy about it (no problem for us, as we attached the machine to a Linux with usbmouse driver).

It could work with a 2.6 kernel because the people of the Nokia 770 were able to emulate a Bluetooth HID Keyboard, so I guess that the HID report descriptors for Bluetooth are already finished in the 2.6.
