from the xwarppointer page:

-r or --relative      Makes the movement of the cursor relative to its 
                      current position.
-q or --query         Checks the position of the cursor and displays it 
                      (x, y)

the -q option should do what you want in terms of a reading the position 
so it would be easy to throw together a few line script to read, move, 
move back as you mention. also notice that relative movement will allow 
you to 'nudge' the pointer much like you said xbut will do. no idea if 
one is better than the other though.
