Doesn't look like 256 colours to me.
But I know 16 colours work, so I guess what's declared definitely isn't
all that accurate...so maybe it still does support 256. You definitely
can't assume that from merely xterm-color support, though. There is
xterm-16color and xterm-256color for greater colour support in xterm.

Yep, it sure is.
:help 'mouse'
All you need to do is set the mouse option appropriately (e.g. :set
mouse=a) and you get almost as much in terminal Vim as you get in gvim
(provided you use a terminal/software that supports it such as xterm,
gpm, etc.). Indeed, it works in xterm in X11 on the Mac. Definitely not
in Terminal.app.
