You will certainly be able plug in a USB mouse, on the assumption that you have a spare USB port. Whether it will fix the problem, however, is largely dependent on what the problem is.

How old is the machine?
What operating system are you running?

Yes, you can plug a USB mouse into it, no worrries.

Any mouse should work. Larger branches of Tesco will sell you a USB laptop optical mouse for £5.58. Asda will sell you one for £6.

Unlikely to be a hardware problem, unless the mouse pad has been damaged in some way. You should definitely consider an upgrade to Windows 7, though - Vista is awful..
