Wondering if anyone has written or can recommend a function
(built-in/add-on) that would give the ability similar to a yellow
marker, e.g. where MB1 down would set the background color of all text
over which the pointer passes. Bonus points for not marking beginning of
line and end of line white space, just like one would do with a real
marker. Thanks.

Yes, see library highlight.el.
http://www.emacswiki.org/HighlightLibrary
In particular, `hlt-highlighter', which is bound by default to
`C-x mouse-2', and `hlt-eraser', which is bound by default to
`C-x S-mouse-2'.
