Device: Samsung Galaxy A16 5G (Android 15 / One UI 7). 

I enable Interaction control to block all on-screen physical touches for a visually/mentally impaired user. My Automate flow needs to press menu buttons using Interact → Action: Click with an XPath selector (i.e., targeted accessibility action, not coordinates).

Q1. When physical touches are suppressed by Interaction control (or any touch-blocking overlay), will Interact → Action: Click still perform the accessibility click on the matched UI element? Are there known limitations (e.g., specific system Settings/dialogs) or interactions with Android 12+ “untrusted touch” rules?

Q2. In the same state, will Interact touch (coordinate taps/gestures) work, too,  or are such touches likely to be blocked by the system?

Not really sure but if you mean running the flow to click something it doesn't touch any else I think its very limited.

Q1. Cannot say, since "interaction control" is not a standard Android feature.  I'd guess all interaction would be disabled, from the Interact blocks as well.
Q2. See Q1
