@tannim, if you can't find something you like from the suggestions, I'll write this for you.  Based on your description and my first thoughts, it's a pretty easy Coding Snack to write.  Yeah, cranio, mouser et al, famous last words.

joiwind:
@ tannim - this MAY be something like what you're looking for : mfnotepad

AndyM:
or Flashnote

Either NotesHolder or QuotePad, which is a rebranded version of it.  Not quite your mouse target, but you can set it so that you "bump" a line at the edge of the screen to pop it up, or use a hotkey.  If you go this route, it may help to know that QuotePad is free and NotesHolder has both free and payware versions.  Overkeen AV scanners tend to mark the payware version as a false positive, but not the free version, and AFAIC the payware version doesn't have a huge extra functionality anyway.

You might also take a look at Quicknote which fulfills at least some of your requirements, if not all.

Quicknotes is very close to what I want, indeed.  It has the corner mouse over popup and instant focus.  The only thing it doesn't have, which I can probably live without, is that it doesn't instantly hide again when I move my mouse away.  I can press escape or click outside the window so I think it will work.  Thank you : )  Maybe I can request that feature on the author's site.

As to those suggesting I do not want to use a mouse to open the notes and instead should use hotkeys, I'd prefer not to as I'd have to find the key combination to hit. That is about the same effort as to move the mouse down to the task bar and click notepad.  Hotkeys are great, but not for what I wanted.  Thank you for reading anyway.
