Answer 1

Check the DC class like

http://docs.wxwidgets.org/trunk/classwx%5Fpaint%5Fd%5Fc.html

there you have full freedom. just select a brush, a color and paint copy, stamp store loaded images, what you like. With an Eventhandler like

EVT_LEFT_UP( widget, callback );

you can intercept clicks or with EVT_MOTION the movement with mouse and in the callback the second parameter is the eventobject from where you get coordinates.

just have a look here:

http://docs.wxwidgets.org/2.8.9/wx%5Fclassref.html#classref

because you need to understand some concepts before you can solve such complex task in Wx. Maybe start with the surrounding Wx::Frame, add an Wx::StatusBar a Wx::Menu, put it into the Wx::MenuBar and connect one Menu as Conetxtmenu (also Wx::Menu poped out on mouse click) and so on. You maybe load a little bitmap into menuitem icon before you manipulate it (as Wx::Image, with Wx::Bitmap you can't do a lot). So take your time and enjoy. :)

Going through the wxPython demo and looking at all the examples would be a good start. You'll likely find page Using Images | DragImage to be useful, since you'll probably want cards that you can drag.

Generally, the demo can help you do most things in wxPython, and also show you what wxPython can do, and it's worth the time to see every demo. This approach works for everything except the very first step of getting an app running and putting a frame in it (since the demo itself is an app, but not a simple one). Any of the basic tutorials can help you get started with an app and frame in just a very lines of code.
