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'.

And this page provides some comparison among similar libraries,
which might help: http://www.emacswiki.org/HighlightTemporarily
