The build-essential package should provide you with the required tools and header files. Install it with this command:

sudo aptitude install build-essential

Use the "aptitude search" command if you're looking for packages that contain specific header files (usually called libxyz-dev) or build tools.

No, conio.h is a DOS header file: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Conio.h
Under Linux, ncurses will probably be the library to accomplish these tasks.

I would like to have focus-follow-mouse for all displayed windows. How do I implement this option?
