Compilation error: 'Mouse' not found. Does your sketch include the line '#include <Mouse.h>'?

As stated on GitHub the mouse emulation will only work on a ATMega32u4 processor as used in the Arduino Pro Micro. The Mini Pro is a completely different device using the ATMega328P. The Mouse.h library wont be available for that device.

Nowadays I recommend using the RP2040 Zero module which is cheaper and easier to program.
