Can I simulate a screen touch? I'm not sure if the interact button is the right one, but I don't care about what the target is I just want simulate a touch that I can use on any app..

Is that possible?

You can use the Shell command superuser block to execute the input command.

Usage: input [<source>] <command> [<arg>...]

The sources are:
      trackball
      joystick
      touchnavigation
      mouse
      keyboard
      gamepad
      touchpad
      dpad
      gesture
      stylus
      touchscreen

The commands and default sources are:
      text <string> (Default: touchscreen)
      keyevent [--longpress] <key code number or name> ... (Default: keyboard)
      tap <x> <y> (Default: touchscreen)
      swipe <x1> <y1> <x2> <y2> [duration(ms)] (Default: touchscreen)
      press (Default: trackball)
      roll <dx> <dy> (Default: trackball)
