NP, just so we´re on the same page here:)

Does the mouse work when running remote(virt)-viewer directly from your
Mac to the same CentOS guest using the mentioned instructions[1]?

No drivers are needed in the machine you´re viewing from. Only
guest-side drivers are needed, and in Linux, they´re already there:)
What you are experiencing is some kind of network-related issue. You
need to make sure that the other "native" CentOS-machine can connect
properly to the Host running the Guest via a resolvable address, because
it will want to establish an encrypted session with the Host´s fqdn.
