The author of Luke also relied on the hypothetical 'Q' document for sayings attributed to Jesus. Luke appears to have used the works of Josephus to provide historical background material, certainly for Acts of the Apostles and most probably for the Gospel.
No, the Gospel of Luke is not written from Mary's perspective. We can determine that Luke likely interviewed Mary when he was working on his book, because there are things the Luke includes in his Gospel that none of the other Gospel writers include.

Luke 1:2 gives us a summary of how our 'Luke' gathered his information for the Gospel: "Even as they delivered them unto us, which from the beginning were eyewitnesses, and ministers of the word." In other words, the information was delivered to Luke's community ("us") in written form through a chain of writers, the earliest of which Luke believed to have been eyewitnesses.We now know that the writings that were delivered to Luke were Mark's Gospel and the hypothetical 'Q' document (it is 'hypothetical' because we have no extant copy, although its former existence is almost universally accepted by scholars). Luke also found information in the Old Testament to be useful in writing his gospel.
