Sure you could, as long as you didn't need to interact locally. A good example would be a router or firewall. Generally they have no interface, unless you access it from another computer via LAN or internet connection.

No, without a computer or a keyboard you can't operate a computer. The furthest you will get to operating it would be changing the light on your screen.

There are other input devices- including voice controlled, touch screen control, etc. There WERE computers prior to the computer mouse. Very early computers were controlled by cardboard cards with holes punched in them.

Although it iis not currently possible to comtrol a computer without a mouse and keyboard reaserch is under way that allws the control of a cursos using brain waves, and some modifications to the kinect software allows control of devices without keyboard nor mouse, but these technologiesa arent currently available to the public.

Examples include projector screens or most newer Flat TV screens with a computer monitor input plug.
